(a) The Building Inspector shall cause examination to be made of every application for a building permit, and shall issue no permit for any building or structure to be built, altered or repaired in violation of the Zoning Ordinance. No building or structure shall be built, altered or repaired, except after the issuance of the permit, and in conformity with the permit and the plans, statements, and other documents required to be submitted or approved in securing the permit. Any permit issued in violation hereof shall be void.
(b) The Inspector shall cause inspection to be made of all buildings and structures in the process of construction, and such other buildings, structures and premises as he may find to be inspected in the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance.
(c) When any construction, alteration or repair of any building or structure is being done in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, it shall be unlawful to proceed further upon the work, and the work shall be suspended forthwith.
(d) When any building, structure or premises is being used or occupied in violation of the Zoning Ordinance, it shall be unlawful to continue such use or occupancy and the use and occupancy shall be suspended forthwith.
(e) The Inspector shall notify the owner, or his or their agent, of the unlawful work, use, or occupancy, and cause a written or printed notice of the suspension thereof to be posted conspicuously and as near as practicable to the scene of the unlawful work, use or occupancy. No person shall remove, deface, cover, or conceal the notice or do any further work on such building, structure, or continue the use or occupancy of such building, structure or premises, until such notice shall have been rescinded by the Inspector of the Planning and Zoning Commission. However, the Inspector may direct such covering or protection to be made as the public safety may require, and the person or persons performing the suspended work, use or occupancy shall immediately make such covering and protection as directed.
