The Building Inspector may revoke a building
permit theretofore issued in the following instances:
A. Where he finds that there has been any false statement
or misrepresentation as to a material fact in the application, plans
or specifications on which the building permit was based.
B. Where he finds that the building permit was issued
in error and should not have been issued in accordance with the applicable
law.
C. Where he finds that the work performed under the permit
is not being prosecuted in accordance with the provisions of the application,
plans or specifications.
D. Where the person to whom a building permit has been
issued fails or refuses to comply with a stop order issued by the
Building Inspector.
Whenever the Building Inspector has reasonable
grounds to believe that work on any building or structure is being
prosecuted in violation of the provisions of the applicable laws,
ordinances, rules or regulations, or not in conformity with the provisions
of an application, plans or specifications on the basis of which a
building permit was issued, or in an unsafe and dangerous manner,
he shall notify the owner of the property or the owner's agent to
suspend all work, and any such persons shall forthwith stop such work
and suspend all building activities until the stop order has been
rescinded. Such order and notice shall be in writing, shall state
the conditions under which the work may be resumed, and may be served
upon a person to whom it is directed either by delivering it personally
to him or by posting the same upon a conspicuous portion of the building
where the work is being performed and sending a copy of the same to
him by certified mail at the address set forth in the application
for permission for the construction of such building.
The Building Inspector and Assistant Building
Inspectors, upon the showing of proper credentials and in the discharge
of their duties, shall be permitted to enter upon any building, structure
or premises without interference during reasonable working hours.
Before issuing a certificate of occupancy, the
Building Inspector shall examine or cause to be examined all buildings,
structures and sites for which an application has been filed for a
building permit to construct, enlarge, alter, repair or change the
use or nature of occupancy, and he may conduct such inspections as
he deems appropriate from time to time during and upon completion
of the work for which a building permit has been issued. There shall
be maintained in the Building Department a record of all such examinations
and inspections, together with a record of findings of violations
of the law.
Upon request, the Building Inspector may issue
a temporary certificate of occupancy for a building or structure or
part thereof before the entire work covered by the building permit
shall have been completed, provided such portion or portions as have
been completed may be occupied safely without endangering life or
the public health or welfare. A temporary certificate of occupancy
shall remain effective for a period not exceeding three months from
its date of issuance. For good cause the Building Inspector may allow
a maximum of two extensions for periods not exceeding three months
each.
