No building permit shall be issued unless the Building Official has determined that the subject property is, or will be after completion of the work for which the permit is to be authorized, in compliance with this chapter of the Code of the Village of Camillus.

No lot shall be used or occupied and no structure, secondary structure or accessory structure shall be utilized until a certificate of compliance shall have been issued. The issuance of a building permit shall constitute authorization for the appropriate official to enter upon the premises where the work under permit is being pursued at such times as may be necessary to ensure that all applicable regulations are being complied with.

Any building permit or certificate of compliance may be revoked where it appears that any applicable regulations are being violated.

Development of any land use activity for which all necessary permits have been issued prior to the effective date of this chapter may be pursued to completion despite the fact that such development would result in nonconforming elements not allowed as a matter of right or otherwise prohibited, provided that, where such permit involves construction, the same is commenced prior to or within 30 days following the effective date and substantially completed within one year from the date thereof, or in the case of occupancy not requiring substantial construction or improvements, such occupancy is effected within 30 days following such effective date. Substantial completion shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of § 110-18 of this chapter.
