Whenever there is a change in the use or occupancy of a building or other structure or premises, or part thereof, which new use or occupancy results in reclassification of the building or other structure or premises, or part thereof, under a different occupancy or use classification of this Building Code, such building or other structure or premises shall not be used or occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy therefor has been issued by the Building Inspector. Whenever a building or other structure for which a Certificate of Occupancy had not been previously issued is enlarged or altered, the use or occupancy of such building or other structure, if not discontinued while work was done, shall not be continued for more than thirty days after the completion of the work, and if vacated while work was done, such building or other structure shall not be used or occupied, until a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by the Inspector. Application for a Certificate of Occupancy shall be made by the owner or his or her authorized representative on forms obtained from the Inspector.
