It shall be the duty of the Zoning Administrator to enforce the provisions of this ordinance and to refuse to issue any permit for any building or for use of any premises which would violate any of the provisions of this ordinance.

No building may be undertaken without a building permit as required by the Building Code. Each application for a building permit shall be accompanied by such information as may be necessary to provide for the enforcement of this ordinance.

Subsequent to the effective date of this ordinance, no change in the use or occupancy of land, nor any change of use or occupancy in an existing building shall be made, nor shall any new building be occupied until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Zoning Administrator or Building Official.

A written notice of violation shall be given to the owner and/or tenant of a property in violation. The notice shall require abatement of the violation within ten (10) calendar days. The notice may be served by personal delivery, by mail, or by publication in a local newspaper if other service cannot be made. The Zoning Administrator is authorized to grant one or more continuances upon written application where satisfactory progress is being made to abate a violation.
