(a) Whenever any dwelling, building or structure has been sold or vacated by its former occupant, or a change in its former occupant or a change in its use is contemplated, no person, firm or corporation, shall reoccupy such dwelling, building or structure, until and unless a Certificate of Reoccupancy has been issued, therefore, under the same terms and conditions as required for an original Certificate.
(b) Before a dwelling, building or structure is sold, deed, land contract or otherwise, the owner shall apply for a Re-occupancy Permit, and if the dwelling, building or structure is to be sold "as is", shall furnish to the new owner a copy of all violations found upon inspection which must be corrected before a Re-occupancy Permit can be issued.
(c) The scope of the inspection shall be limited to such areas as are in plain view.
