(a) The Building Commissioner shall issue no building or occupancy permits for any building, structure, use or change in use of land or premises in violation of this Zoning Code, and any permit so issued shall be void.
(b) The Building Commissioner shall issue no building permit or certificate of occupancy for any building, structure, use or change of use during any period in which an ordinance or other measure which would forbid the action authorized under such permit is pending before Council, has been formally recommended to Council by the Commission, is subject to referendum or on which referendum is pending.
(c) No building or occupancy permit shall be issued until an application therefor has remained on file in the office of the Building Commissioner for public inspection for a period of ten days, but some appropriate action must be taken on any such application by the Building Commissioner within thirty days after the application is filed. The ten-day delay may be reduced in the case of single and two-family dwellings at the discretion of the Building Commissioner.
