official and the owner/developer or its engineer/architect of such
defects. It shall be the duty of the owner/developer to correct such

inspection.

shall, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a building,
fully reimburse the town for the cost of such special or additional
inspections attributable to the building for which a certificate of
occupancy is sought.

It shall be the duty of the Town Engineers to inform
the Building Inspector of the amount of the cost of such additional
