This chapter shall be enforced by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer designated by the Village Board. The Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer shall in no case grant any building permit where the proposed erection, alteration, relocation or use would be in violation of any provision of this chapter. The Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer shall make inspections of buildings or premises necessary to carry out his duties. No permit nor certificate of occupancy required hereunder shall be issued by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer, except in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, or as directed by the Board of Appeals under the provisions of Article X.
A. 
No building shall hereafter be erected, relocated or altered as to outside dimensions or so as to permit a change in its use and no excavation for any building shall be begun, unless and until a permit therefor has been issued by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer or by the Board of Appeals wherever it is provided in this chapter that the approval of the Board of Appeals is required.
B. 
No such permit shall be issued until there has been filed with the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer a sketch or plot plan showing the actual dimensions and angles of the lot to be built upon, the exact size and location on the lot of the building or accessory buildings to be erected, relocated or altered and such other information as may be necessary to determine and provide for the enforcement of this chapter. Each application shall state the purpose for which the structure or land is to be used and a general description of the type of construction.
C. 
The Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer shall act upon all applications for building permits within a reasonable time. He shall issue or refuse to issue such permits. Notice of refusal to issue any permit shall be given to the owner or to his authorized representative, in writing, and shall state the reasons for said refusal. The fee for any such permit shall be as determined by the Village Board from time to time.
A. 
No land shall be used or occupied and no building hereafter erected, altered or extended shall be used or changed in use until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer. Under such rules as may be established by the Board of Appeals, a temporary certificate of occupancy for not more than 30 days for a part of a building may be issued by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer. For previously existing construction, the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer may, on request, issue such a certificate if he determines that the use of the building in question meets the requirements of this chapter.
B. 
A certificate of occupancy shall be issued only if the proposed use of the building or land conforms to the provisions of this chapter and to the plot plan, purpose and description for which the permit was issued. The Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer shall make or cause to have made an inspection of each building or lot for which a certificate of occupancy has been applied before issuing such certificate. Such inspection shall be made within 10 days from the date of application, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays excepted.
A. 
Violations of this chapter shall be subject to the provisions of applicable law. Upon determination by the Zoning/Code Enforcement Officer that a violation of this chapter exists, he shall send written notice to the last known owner of record of the property, as determined by the assessment records, said owner of the violation of specific provisions of this chapter and stating that action is to be taken by said owner to remove such violation in 20 days; or proceedings to compel compliance with this chapter will be instituted. Any violation of this chapter may also be enjoined pursuant to law.
B. 
Violation of this chapter is declared to be an offense punishable by a fine not exceeding $350 or imprisonment for a period of not to exceed six months, or both, for conviction of a first offense; for conviction of a second offense both of which are committed within a period of five years, punishable by a fine not less than $350 nor more than $700 or imprisonment for a period no to exceed six months, or both; and, upon conviction for a third or subsequent offense all of which were committed within a period of five years, punishable by a fine not less than $700 nor more than $1,000 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed six months, or both. Pursuant to § 20-2006 Village Law, Subdivision 1-a, for the purpose of conferring jurisdiction upon courts and judicial officers generally, violations of this chapter shall be deemed misdemeanors and for such purpose only all provisions of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to such violations. Each weeks' continued violation shall constitute a separate additional violation.
