This chapter shall be enforced by the Director of Municipal Inspections.

If the Director of Municipal Inspections shall be informed, or have reason to believe that any provision of this chapter or any permit thereunder has been, is being or is likely to be violated, they shall make or cause an investigation to be made of the facts, including an inspection of the property where the violation may exist. When the Director receives a written request to enforce this chapter against any alleged violator, the Director shall reply in writing within 14 days, stating the action taken, or nonaction, and the reasons therefor. If any violation is found, immediate notice shall be given in writing to the owner or their duly authorized agent and to the occupant of the premises which shall order that any violation of the provisions of this chapter immediately cease.

No building permit shall be issued for the erection or alteration of any building, structure or part thereof if the plans, specifications and intended use of the land are not in all respects in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. With each application for a permit, there shall be filed duplicate copies of a plan or sketch drawn to scale showing the lot and location of the buildings, structures and uses of land thereon. It is the responsibility of the Director of Municipal Inspections to ensure that foundations and buildings are constructed in conformance with the submitted plan. If the Director so requests, the applicant shall furnish to the said Director the necessary proof of compliance in the form of an as-built plan of the subject premises certified by a registered land surveyor or registered engineer.

Whoever violates any provision of this chapter or any of the conditions under which a permit is issued by the Director of Municipal Inspections or any decision rendered by the Board of Appeals under the provisions of this chapter shall be liable to a fine of not more than the amount specified in M.G.L. c. 40A, § 7 per day for each violation; provided, however, that each day such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
