A. New Buildings: No new building or structure may be used or occupied, in whole or in part, until a certificate of use and occupancy has been issued certifying that the building or structure has been completed in accordance with the approved permit.
B. Alterations; Use Changes: No part of any building or structure hereafter enlarged, extended, altered, or changed, or in which a use or ownership has changed, may be used or occupied in such part until a certificate of use and occupancy has been issued certifying that the work has been completed in accordance with the provisions of the approved permit or that the use is properly authorized by, and in compliance with, applicable law. In the case of a change of ownership without work requiring a permit, a new certificate of occupancy is required.
C. Temporary Certificate Of Occupancy:
1. General: When a building or project has been completed but, for good cause, minor building and site improvements that are affected by weather conditions, such as seeding or sod, final grading, asphalt or concrete work, or the like, have not been completed, the code official may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy, but only after a request therefor, payment of the required fee, and posting of the required bond. No temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued except after a finding by the code official that such permit will not adversely affect the health, welfare, or safety of the occupants or the general public. A final certificate of occupancy is required for all parts of the premises after completion of all work.
2. Business, Office, And Industrial: The code official may issue a separate temporary certificate of occupancy authorizing use and occupation to conduct business in a business, office, or industrial structure, but only after a request therefor, payment of the required fee and bond, and testing and approval of the fire suppression and alarm systems granted in the discretion of the village fire department; and then only if the code official determines that such work will pose no immediate threat to the health, safety, and welfare of workers or of the general public. No such temporary occupancy permit creates or gives rise to, or may be construed or applied to create or give rise to, any right in the permittee to further occupy the structure. Every such permit must state that it does not create any right to a final occupancy permit and that all work undertaken pursuant to such permit is at the permittee's sole risk. No use or occupation for conducting business is permitted except after issuance of such a temporary occupancy permit.
D. Permission: The code official, at his or her discretion and only after a specific written request from the permittee, may give permission to the owner or his designee to place inventory, fixtures, racking, material, stock, other types of inventory, or the like in a business, office, or industrial building. This permission may be granted only if the placement of the materials will not limit the completion of construction or inspections and provided the fire suppression and alarm systems have been installed, tested, and accepted by the village fire department for granting of such permission. This permission does not allow occupation of the building or area to conduct business of any kind under any circumstances. (Ord. 2015-3-053, 3-16-2015)
