Village
Code
Permit Forms
The Village Building Inspector is responsible for the
issuance of
Building Permits and Certificates of Occupancy for all
structures,
as defined in the Village Code. Included in the
definition of a
structure are accessory structures such as pools,
patios, driveways,
docks, retaining walls, fences, ponds, decks and
tennis courts.
Obtaining a Building Permit is the starting point for
applications
before many Village Boards and Commissions such as the
Board of
Appeals, the Planning Board, the Board of
Architectural Review, and
the Joint Village Coastal Management Commission.
Building Permits
are valid for a period of one year after which, if a
Certificate of
Occupancy has not been issued, the permit must be
renewed.
In addition to a Building Permit, several other items
may be
necessary to produce prior to the issuance of a
Certificate of
Occupancy such as surveys, Suffolk County Board of
Health
Certification, NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation
permit, Architects and /or Structural Engineers
Certification and
Village Engineer?s Certification on drainage and site
work.
Residents are urged to discuss any planned
construction,
demolition, tree removal, improvement or structural
change of any
kind with the Building Inspector before commencing any
work to
insure that the resident will have a workable overview
as to what will
be required prior to the start of any such project.
