(A) An application for a permit shall be submitted in a form as the Building Inspector may prescribe.
(B) The application shall be made by the owner or lessee of the premises, or the duly authorized agent of either. The agent may include, but not necessarily be limited to, the owner’s or lessee’s architect, engineer, contractor or builder. The responsibility for assuring that a building permit has been obtained rests with the owner or lessee. However, no contractor, builder or other person retained in connection with any work or project requiring a building permit shall commence the work or project without having confirmed with the owner or lessee that a building permit has been obtained. No contractor, builder or other person retained in connection with the work or project shall continue the work or project after becoming aware that a building permit has not been issued when required whether or not a stop work order has been issued until the required building permit has been issued.
(C) The application shall contain the full names and addresses of the applicant and of the owner, and, if the owner is a corporate body, of its responsible officers.
(D) The application shall describe briefly the proposed work and shall give additional information as may be required by the Building Inspector for an intelligent understanding of the proposed work.
