Said temporary or conditional certificate shall be issued subject
to such conditions as the Village Board may deem appropriate and may
be revoked at any time upon notice. The Building Inspector shall not
have the authority to issue a temporary or conditional certificate
of occupancy or compliance, and any application therefor shall be
made directly to the Village Board.
