No permit shall be approved by the West Haven Building Department
if it is determined by the Building Official that there are delinquent
taxes or sewer use charges against the property for which an application
is made, unless the property owner has entered into a payment program
approved by the City Tax Collector to pay off the delinquent taxes,
liens, or sewer use charges which may be due. The Building Official
is authorized to grant emergency waivers of this provision for work
documented to be necessary to maintain the health, safety, and welfare
of the subject building occupants and/or general public, and where
a financial hardship has been established.
