A. The Franklin Township Construction Code Enforcing Agency shall periodically inspect all construction undertaken pursuant to the construction permit issued by it to ensure that the construction or alteration is performed in accordance with law and with the conditions of the construction permit.

B. The owner of any premises upon which a building or structure is being constructed shall be deemed to have consented to the inspection by the Franklin Township Construction Code Enforcing Agency of the entire premises and of any and all construction being performed on it until a certificate of occupancy has been issued. An inspector, or team of inspectors, on presentation of proper credentials, shall have the right to enter and inspect such premises and any and all construction thereon, for purposes of ensuring compliance with the provisions of the applicable construction permit and other applicable laws and regulations. All inspections pursuant to this article shall be between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.; however, those inspections may be conducted at other times if the Franklin Township Construction Code Enforcing Agency has reasonable cause to believe that an immediate danger to life, limb or property exists or if permission is given by an owner or his agent, architect, engineer or builder. No person shall accompany an inspector or team of inspectors on any inspection pursuant to this article unless his presence is necessary for the enforcement of this article or the Act (P.L. 1975, c. 217) and regulations adopted pursuant thereto (N.J.A.C. 5:23) or unless consent is given by an owner or his agent, architect, engineer or builder.

The remedy for violation of such an order provided in this subsection shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedies provided by law or ordinance.

D. Neither an appeal to the Gloucester County Construction Board of Appeals nor an appeal to the Department of Community Affairs nor an appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction shall automatically stay any order to stop construction issued pursuant to this article or prevent the seeking of an order in a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin the violation of a stop-construction order.

E. The owner or occupant of every parcel of real property in the Township of Franklin upon which is located a home, store, business or any other use or building shall, within 90 days from the adoption of this article, attach upon his mailbox, the front of the house or at some other place that is visible from the road, house numerals signifying the street address of the parcel of land upon which said structure is located.
