§ 3107. Certificate of permit; filing

• (a) Before the construction or alteration of a building, the owner, builder, or architect
  shall submit to the building inspector a comprehensive statement in writing of the
  material to be used and the mode of construction of the proposed building or alteration,
  with plans and specifications, if there are any. Work thereon shall not be begun
  until the owner has received from the inspector a certificate of permission specifying
  the material of which the outer walls and other covering of the roof of such building
  are to be composed, the street upon which, and the distance therefrom at which such
  building is to be placed. A copy of such certificate shall be filed in the office
  of the inspector under the date of its issue. (b) Such certificate shall not be granted until the inspector is satisfied that such structure
  when completed will be properly built, and insofar as practicable of a fireproof construction;
  provided, however, that in those municipalities that have adopted the provisions of
  chapter 81 of this title, relating to municipal zoning, the building inspector, before
  issuing said building certificate, shall be satisfied that by the issuance of such
  certificate the zoning ordinance of said municipality will not be violated.
