(A) Certificate required. No buildings, or additions thereto, constructed after the effective date of this chapter, and no addition to a previously existing building shall be occupied, and no land, vacant on the effective date of this chapter, shall be used for any purpose until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Zoning Administrator. No change in a use shall be made until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Zoning Administrator. Every certificate of occupancy shall state that the use or occupancy complies with the provisions of this chapter.
(B) Application for occupancy certificate. Every application for a building permit or zoning certificate shall be deemed to be an application for an occupancy certificate. Every application for an occupancy certificate for a new use of land where no building permit is required shall be made directly to the Zoning Administrator.
(C) Issuance of occupancy certificate. No occupancy certificate for a building, or portion thereof, constructed after the effective date of this chapter, shall be issued until construction has been completed and the premises inspected and certified by the Zoning Administrator to be in conformity with the plans and specifications upon which the zoning certificate was based. No occupancy certificate for a building, or addition thereto, constructed after the effective date of this chapter, shall be issued and no addition to a previously existing building shall be occupied until the premises have been inspected and certified by the Zoning Administrator to be in compliance with all applicable standards. Pending the issuance of a regular certificate, a temporary certificate may be issued to be valid for a period not to exceed six months from its date during the completion of any addition or during partial occupancy of the premises. The term of this temporary certificate may be extended by mutual consent of the applicant and village. The occupancy certificate shall be issued or written notice shall be given to the applicant stating the reasons why a certificate cannot be issued, not later than 14 days after the Zoning Administrator is notified in writing that the building or premises is ready for occupancy.
