The Inspector of Buildings, if one shall be appointed or elected,
or otherwise the Select Board members of the Town, shall execute the
provisions of this bylaw except where otherwise provided, and, in
so doing, shall have the same power as is provided for the execution
and enforcement of bylaws relating to the inspection of buildings.
Wherever in this bylaw it is required that the Inspector of Buildings
shall act, it shall be understood that if no Inspector of Buildings
is appointed or elected, the Select Board members shall act in his
place.
Buildings, structures or signs may not be erected, substantially
altered, moved or changed in use, and land may not be substantially
altered or changed in principal use without certification by the Inspector
of Buildings that such action is in compliance with the then-applicable
zoning, or without review by him regarding whether all necessary permits
have been received from those governmental agencies from which approval
is required by federal, state or local law. Issuance of a building
permit or certification of use and occupancy, where required under
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Building Code, may serve as
such certification.
Whoever violates any of the provisions of this bylaw, any of
the conditions under which a permit is issued, or any decision rendered
by the Board of Appeals shall be punished by a fine of $100 for each
violation. Each day that such violation continues shall constitute
a separate offense.
