The request for a "Certificate of Occupancy" for any portion of the building shall be made at least two (2) business days before occupancy is requested. This will allow for time for a final inspection and to process all paperwork. Minimum requirements for occupancy shall be as follows: Minimum requirements for occupancy shall be those set forth in detail in the building regulations adopted by reference in section 9-7-1 of this title and the following:
A. The structure shall be substantially complete, the exterior enclosure shall be complete, and the structure shall comply with all general, special, and structural requirements of the code.
B. All means of egress and all fire protection features shall be in place and continually maintained and approved by the Pleasantview Fire Protection District.

D. Heating system shall be complete in compliance with applicable codes.
E. Electrical system shall be complete in compliance with applicable codes.
F. No Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued until all construction recapture costs and all sewer and water connection fees required by Village ordinances have been paid.
G. Further, no Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued until all landscaping required and indicated on the approved landscaping plans has been installed. However, if weather conditions do not permit the completion of required landscaping, the owner may request Village approval of a cash deposit to guarantee completion of landscaping as soon as weather permits. Such request shall be accompanied by an estimate of cost to complete all required landscaping. Upon Village approval of the request for a cash deposit and the cost estimate, cash deposit equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the cost of all required landscaping shall be deposited with the Village in escrow. If a Certificate of Occupancy under these terms is issued between April 15 and October 15, the final grading, landscaping, and hard-surfacing shall be completed within forty five (45) days. If a conditional Certificate of Occupancy under these terms is issued between October 16 and March 31 of each year, the final grading, landscaping, and hard-surfacing shall be completed prior to the forthcoming May 15.
H. In addition, the owner shall be required to execute such agreements as may from time to time be required by the Village to delineate the conditional status of the Certificate of Occupancy, including, but not limited to, notice to be given to any subsequent purchasers. (Ord. 19-05, 6-4-2019)
