The building inspector, appointed by the city council, and police, are hereby designated and authorized as the officers charged with the enforcement of this title, but the city council, by resolution or ordinance, may from time to time entrust such administration, in whole or in part, to any other office of the city without amendment of this title. (Ord., 9-3-1996)

From the time of the effective date hereof, the city council shall not grant a permit for the construction or alteration of any building or structure, or the moving of a building or a structure onto a lot, if such building or structure would be in violation of any of the provisions of this title, nor shall any city officer grant any permit or license for the use of any building or land if such use would be in violation of this title. Violation of this title is a class C misdemeanor, subject to penalty as provided in section 1-4-1 of this code, unless otherwise specified. The city has the right to remove, at the landowner's cost, any construction done in violation of this title after a thirty (30) day notification. The city also has the right to stop all services to buildings in violation of this title. (Ord., 9-3-1996; amd. 2006 Code)

It shall be the duty of the building inspector to inspect or cause to be inspected all buildings in the course of construction or repair. He shall enforce all the provisions of this title, entering actions in the courts when necessary, and his failure to do so shall not legalize any violation of such provisions. The building inspector shall not issue any permit unless the plans of the proposed erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration and use fully conform to all building codes and zoning regulations then in effect. (Ord., 9-3-1996)
