Relationship to Zoning Permit. Where new construction is proposed, no building permit shall be issued by the Construction Official unless a zoning permit covering the use and location of the proposed structure has first been obtained.

Issuance of Building Permit. All building permits shall be issued in duplicate and one (1) copy shall be kept conspicuously on the premises affected and protected from the weather whenever construction work is being performed thereon. No owner, contractor, workman or other person shall perform any building operations of any kind unless a building permit covering such operation has been displayed as required by this chapter, nor shall anyone perform building operations of any kind after notification of the revocation of said building permit.

Revocation of Building Permit. If it shall appear, at any time, to the Construction Official that the application or accompanying plan is in any respect false or misleading, or that work is being done on the premises differing from that called for in the application that has been filed under existing laws or ordinance, the Construction Official may forthwith revoke the building permit, whereupon it shall be the duty of the person holding the same to surrender it and all copies thereof to the Construction Official. After the building permit has been revoked, the Construction Official may, in the Official's discretion, before issuing the new building permit, require the applicant to file an indemnity bond in favor of the Township of Mahwah, with sufficient surety conditioned for compliance with this chapter and all laws and ordinances then in force, and in a sum sufficient to cover the cost of removing the building or structure if it does not so comply.

Other Requirements. Building permits for a variance from the requirements of this chapter and plans requiring site plan approval shall only be issued upon receipt of a written resolution of approval from the Board or the Township Council.

Records of Building Permits. It shall be the duty of the Construction Official to keep a record of all applications for building permits issued, together with a notation of all special conditions involved. The Construction Official shall prepare a monthly report for the Township Council, Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment, and Tax Assessor, summarizing for the period since their previous report all building permits issued and all complaints of violations and the action taken by them consequent thereon.
