Hawthorne Municipal Code Ch. 15.75 Enforcement

It shall be the duty of the director of building and safety, with respect to new construction, additions, alterations, changes of use or moving of existing buildings, to enforce this title by withholding of permits and certificates of occupancy where plan checks and field inspections reveal that completion of the project will result in a zoning violation. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until all work required by the building official and all other conditions imposed by a department head, commission, committee or other authority have been completed or satisfactorily met, including, but not limited to, bonding. After a certificate of occupancy has been issued, and with respect to existing construction and all other sources of violations, it shall be the duty of the department of building and safety to enforce this title. In addition, all departments, officials and public employees of the city of Hawthorne vested with the duty or authority to issue permits or licenses shall conform to the provisions of this title and shall issue no permit or license, except licenses issued for revenue purposes only, for uses, buildings or purposes in conflict with the provisions of this title; and any such permit or license issued in conflict with the provisions of this title shall be null and void.
