The Community Development Department shall conduct periodic and final inspections of the construction of project improvements and the owner/developer shall correct any deficiencies noted. Construction shall be complete and in accordance with the approved technical plans prior to occupancy of the site. Conditional occupancy may be obtained with minor elements which will not constitute a hazard to the occupants or the general public, being incomplete, providing that cash is deposited with the City in the amount of one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of the City's estimated cost of completing the improvements to be used by the City to complete the project in the event that the owner/developer fails to complete the improvements within the specified time and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1339.08. The owner/developer shall keep the Community Development Department informed of the status of the construction work and shall call for inspections as directed. No work shall be covered until inspected and/or tested and approved by the City. City inspections and/or approvals shall not relieve the owner/developer of his responsibility to insure proper and safe construction and installation of the improvements in accordance with applicable codes and regulations.
