and electrical facilities as determined by the Construction Code Official.
In the event of an emergency, the Construction Code Official may issue

not to exceed 90 days from the date of such permit, subject to such conditions
as the Construction Code Official deems necessary for the health, safety and
welfare of the occupants thereof and the surrounding premises.
No person shall use or occupy emergency housing within the borough unless
such person has a valid permit therefor.
In the event that repairs to or reconstruction of the damaged premises
will not be completed prior to the expiration of the aforesaid permit, the
Council may, by resolution, authorize the Construction Code Official to grant
extensions for said permit for such time and upon such conditions as it deems
appropriate.
Should the permittee fail or refuse to abide by any of the conditions
imposed by the Construction Code Official or the Mayor and Council, the Construction
