The proposed occupant of a structure to be used for business purposes, which shall be completed and available for occupancy subsequent to January 1, 1981, and which requires a certificate of business occupancy under the terms of this Business Maintenance Code, shall apply for such certificate as soon as practicable, but in no event shall any unit of the structure be occupied in whole or in part until such certificate has been issued.
