If the construction or alteration is to be made or executed by any other person than the owner of the land in fee, the person intending to make such alteration or construction shall, either as owner, lessee or in any representative capacity, furnish to the Board of Trustees, accompanying the application to build or alter, a statement in writing, sworn to as aforesaid, giving the full name and residence of the owner of the land, building, structure or proposed structure and reciting that he is duly authorized to perform said work. Such statement may be made by the agent or architect of the person hereinbefore required to make the same.

All applications, notices, sworn statements and the record of all permits issued as provided by this chapter shall be presented to and kept on file with such officials as may be hereafter appointed by the trustees for the purpose of enforcing this chapter and, in the absence of such appointment, with the Village Clerk.

Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit the filing of amendments to any application at any time before the completion of the work for which a permit was sought, and such amendments, after approval, shall be made a part of the application and filed as such.

Ordinary repairs to buildings or structures may be made without notice to the Board of Trustees or the administrative official, if so appointed.

It shall be unlawful to construct or alter any building or structure or any part thereof until the applications required by the provisions of this article have been approved by the Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be, and a written permit issued. It shall be unlawful to construct or alter any building or structure or any part thereof which shall not conform to and be in accordance with the application, plans, architect's drawings, renderings and elevations.

The Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be, shall approve or reject any application or plan or amendment thereto filed pursuant to the provisions of this article, within a reasonable time, and if approved, shall promptly issue a permit therefor.

Approved copy of the plans and specifications must be kept at the premises under construction until a certificate of occupancy is issued.

Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent the Board of Trustees or the administrative official from approving and issuing a permit for the construction of part of a building or structure when the plans and detailed statements have been presented for the same before the entire plans and detailed statements of said building or structure have been submitted or approved.

In the absence of the appointment of an administrative official, every permit issued by the Board of Trustees under the provision of this chapter shall have a majority of their signatures affixed thereto, but this shall not prevent the Board of Trustees from authorizing any subordinate to affix such signature.

Any permit issued by the Board of Trustees or the administrative official under the provisions of this article but under which no work is commenced within one year or work shall not have been completed within two years from the time of issuance shall expire by limitation.

The administrative official or, in the absence of such appointment, the Board of Trustees may revoke any permits of approval issued under the provisions of this article in the case of any false statement or any misrepresentation as to a material fact in the application on which the permit of approval was based.

It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any building or premises or part thereof, hereafter created, erected, changed, converted or enlarged, wholly or partly, in its use or structure, until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be. Said certificate shall show that said building, structure or premises or part thereof and the proposed uses thereof are in conformity with the provisions of this chapter. It shall be the duty of the Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be, to issue a certificate of occupancy within 10 days after a request for the same shall be filed in his office by the owner of a building or premises, provided that said building or premises or part thereof, and the proposed use thereof, conform to the requirements herein set forth.

The Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be, may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for a part of a building. Upon written request by the owner, the Board of Trustees or the administrative official, as the case may be, may issue a certificate of occupancy for any building or premises existing at the time of the passage of this chapter certifying after inspection the use made of the buildings or premises and whether such use conforms to the provisions of this chapter.
