Building Code.
4.The Town never issued a building permit to Respondents for the construction of the
Wall.
5.Respondents submitted an application for a building permit to the Town. However,
Respondents' application was denied by the Town due, in part, to Respondents' failure to

comply within the time specified, a fine in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars
($250.00) per day could have been imposed for each day the violation continued to exist
after March 1, 2026.
Upon complying in any code enforcement matter, it was the responsibility of the

an inspection of the Subject Property.
