The Building Inspector shall be the village official who shall have the duty of enforcing all village building and housing regulations, if any. He or she shall inspect all buildings repaired, altered, built, or moved in the village as often as necessary to ensure compliance with all village ordinances. He or she shall have the power and authority to order, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, all work stopped on any construction, alteration, or relocation which violates any provisions prescribed in any village building and housing regulations. He or she shall, at the direction of the Board of Trustees, issue permission to continue any construction, alteration, or relocation when the Board of Trustees is satisfied that no provision will be violated. If the stop order is an oral one, it shall be followed by a written stop order within 1 hour. This written order may be served by any village police officer. In the event that the village has building and housing regulations and the Board of Trustees fails to appoint a Building Inspector, the chief village law enforcement officer shall be the Building Inspector ex officio.
