A. It is required that a permit be obtained in advance and all other requirements of the building ordinance be complied with whenever a building or structure, or parts or appurtenances thereof, such as water supply, sewage disposal, plumbing installation, electrical installation and heating equipment is erected, installed, altered, converted, remodeled, reroofed, structurally repaired, moved or changed.
B. The building commissioner shall not issue a building permit for any proposed improvement unless said improvement has access to a "street" (as defined in section 1.04.010 of this code).
C. Should a building permit be denied solely because of issues related to street access or related improvements, exceptions may be permitted if approved by the village board. The board may grant an exception to the above upon a positive finding that the applicant has met one or more of the following:
1. Applicant has developed a street program either solely or in conjunction with other property owners to improve the street to a standard found acceptable to the village based on recommendations of the village engineer and village planner;
2. Applicant provides the village with suitable assurance that the improvements will be developed at a future date, either certain or upon village request, provides necessary financial guarantees, provides private improvements that are either temporary or permanent based on the recommendation of the village engineer and village planner, and options to purchase by the village;
3. Applicant accepts that the village may provide for required street improvements in conjunction with a financing mechanism such as recapture, special service area, special assessments or other means found acceptable by the village attorney and the village board;
4. Other means found acceptable by the village.
D. No permit shall be issued to a person who has failed to pay any fine, penalty or debt owing to the Village (“Village Debt”). A person whose permit application is rejected based on a Village Debt may appeal the decision, which appeal must be in writing and filed with the Village Clerk within ten (10) days following the decision. The written appeal must include the basis for contesting the Village Debt and other information that will help the applicant’s case. Within the body of the written appeal, the Applicant may also request a hearing to contest the Village Debt. The Village Administrator will set a hearing date within ten (10) days of the receipt of the written request for hearing and will rule on any appeals that are timely filed. If a timely written appeal is not filed, the Village Debt will be considered final. (Ord 2019-O-24 § 20: Ord. 1994-O-31 § 1: Ord. 1989-O-18 § 1)
All buildings and structures, and parts and appurtenances thereof, both existing and hereafter erected or installed, shall be maintained so that the occupants and users thereof and others are reasonably safe from the hazards of fire, explosion, collapse, contagion and spread of infectious disease. If found not so maintained, the necessary corrective work, repair, replacement or removal may be ordered. (Ord. 1989-O-18 § 1)

Where a dispute arises regarding an engineering opinion furnished by the owner of property involved in any matter relating to this chapter, the village may engage the services of a qualified registered engineer and the owner of the property involved shall reimburse the village for the reasonable customary cost of such services. Where a permit is issued, such engineering expense shall be added to the permit fee.
