The provisions of the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code and other applicable regulations of the Village of Depew shall control the issuance of building permits. In addition to such provisions, every application for a building permit shall be accompanied by a survey, sealed or stamped by a licensed surveyor, in duplicate, drawn to scale and showing the dimensions of the plot to be built upon, the size and location of the building or other structure on the plot and such other information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of the regulations contained in this chapter.

No building permit shall be issued unless the provisions of this chapter are complied with, including approved site plans and/or special use permits as required. Building permits shall not be issued and/or commencement of construction activities shall not continue on any project for which an appeal is pending before the Village Zoning Board of Appeals and until the written decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals is filed with the Village Clerk's office and the Code Enforcement Officer.

In the case of a building permit for multifamily dwellings or apartments, no building permit shall be issued unless plans have been prepared by a New York State licensed professional engineer certifying that such dwellings will be provided with adequate sanitary sewage, potable water and storm drainage for the project.
