(a) Partial Occupancy. Upon written request of the owner of a building, the Building Inspector may issue a certificate of occupancy before completion of the entire work provided that the Building Inspector determines that the space can be safely occupied prior to full completion of the building, structure, or portion without endangering life or public welfare. The certificate shall indicate the extent of the areas approved for occupancy and any time limits for the completion of work.
(b) Time-Limited Occupancy. A building or structure hereafter changed in part from one occupancy to another for a limited time may receive a certificate of occupancy reflecting that time-limited occupancy provided:
(1) There are no violations of laws or orders of the Building Inspector pending:
(2) It is established after inspection and investigation that the proposed use is not deemed to endanger public safety and welfare:
(3) The Building Inspector has approved the use for an alternative purpose on a temporary basis; and
(4) The Building Inspector has issued a certificate of occupancy indicating any special conditions under which the building or part of the building can be used for the alternative purpose within the time limit specified.
(c) Temporary Structure Occupancy. A building intended to be erected, placed and used for a period of time not to exceed 180 consecutive days that has been determined by the Building Inspector to be in compliance with the provisions of this Building Code may be issued a certificate of occupancy for temporary structures. The Building Inspector is authorized to grant extensions for demonstrated cause.
