1305.05 OWNER'S RESPONSIBILITY.
   The requirement of a permit may be avoided by the contractor if he secures the signature of the purchaser of such property upon a waiver form to be supplied by the Building Inspector. However, if the purchaser of such property executes such a waiver, he thereupon shall become subject to the provisions and requirements of this chapter as set forth above, and before occupying, permitting to occupy or reselling such house or structure, must secure a certificate of occupancy. The owner, if he has executed such a waiver, may secure a conditional occupancy permit by agreeing that the work necessary to complete the requirements of Section 1305.02 will be completed by a certain date, which date shall be set forth in both the agreement and in the conditional occupancy permit.
   Such conditional occupancy permit shall be issued by the Building Inspector only after findings required for the issuance of such permit in Section 1305.03 have been made and if the owner fails to complete the work necessary by the date set forth, then such conditional occupancy permit shall be considered to have been revoked as of the date of its issuance. Each day of occupancy shall be considered to be the commission of a misdemeanor and a separate violation of this chapter as if a conditional occupancy permit had not been secured. Failure by the purchaser to secure a permit or a conditional occupancy permit shall be a violation of this chapter and the commission of a misdemeanor. For the purposes of determining a violation of this chapter, each day in which such purchaser fails to obtain a certificate of occupancy in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be deemed a separate violation.
