Except as provided in Section 1607.05, the proposed occupant of a structure requiring a certificate of business occupancy shall apply for such certificate of business occupancy for the calendar year, upon forms provided by the Building Commissioner, if such structure is proposed to be occupied or will be available for occupancy. The proposed occupant of a structure to be used for business purposes, which will be completed and available for occupancy and which requires a certificate of business occupancy under the terms of this Code, shall apply for such certificate as soon as practicable, but in no event shall any unit of the structure be occupied in whole or in part until such certificate has been issued.
For each calendar year, the person applying for a required certificate of business occupancy for any unit used for business purposes shall apply for such certificate on or before December 1 of the year preceding the period for which the certificate is issued.
