Failure by the holder of a temporary certificate of occupancy to obtain a final certificate of occupancy by the date established by the Building Commissioner shall result in automatic forfeiture of the related cash deposit or irrevocable letter of credit. The Building Commissioner may, but shall not be obligated to, use such forfeited funds to complete the work indicated on the inspection report attached to the temporary certificate of occupancy, which was issued for the premises.
