B.

the authorized work is abandoned for a period of six months after
commencement of the work or use, the zoning permit shall be considered
void.
D.
Zoning permits shall not be required before the issuance of a building

of a single-family dwelling, provided that there is no increase of
living area or cubic content of the structure and only one subcode
under the Uniform Construction Code is involved. If a change of the
structure or use would result from the issuance of the building permit,
a zoning permit shall be required prior to the issuance of the building
permit.
E.
Prior to the issuance of the certificate of occupancy by the Construction
Official, a final review of the zoning requirements shall be made
by the Zoning Officer.
F.
Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the Construction
Official, exclusive of one-family dwellings and sites involving no
prior approvals from the Planning Board, a zoning permit must be applied
for and approved by the Zoning Officer. Information required prior
to the zoning permit being issued shall include, but not be limited
to:
The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced
by the Zoning Officer. The Zoning Officer shall not issue any permit
for any structure or use which does not conform to the provisions
of the Borough ordinances. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer,
upon the filing with him of any plans for the construction, alteration
or repair of any structure, to require the owner or agent of the owner
of such structure or land to certify, in writing, the use or intended
use of any structure or land so to be constructed, altered or repaired,
and he shall thereupon determine if such structure or use is permitted
by the provisions of the Borough ordinances. In case he shall determine
that such structure or use, or both, is nonconforming, he shall notify
such owner or agent, in writing, to that effect, stating in what respect
such building or use is a nonconforming structure or use.
Any owner, contractor or agent or any person, firm or corporation
who shall build, construct, erect, structurally alter, enlarge, rebuild
or repair any building or structure or commence said work without
having first obtained a zoning permit as required by this chapter
and in violation thereof shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject
to a fine not to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment for a term of not to
exceed 90 days, or both. The continuation of such violation for each
successive day shall constitute a separate punishable offense. In
addition to fines and penalties, the violation of any provision of
this chapter shall be subject to abatement or other injunctive relief
by order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
