Occupancy shall be permitted on a conditional basis when in the judgment of the Code Official practical difficulties interfere with the completing all repairs required to bring the premises into full compliance with this code prior to permitting occupancy. However, no conditional permit shall be issued when there is a condition on the premises which can threaten the health or safety of an occupant. No conditional permit shall be issued under the provisions of this code for premises which have been newly constructed, newly altered or on which a change in use is proposed, unless a certificate of use and occupancy has first been issued under the provisions of the building code.
