No person shall use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any building or premises, or both, or part thereof hereafter created, erected, changed, converted or wholly or partly altered or enlarged in its use or structure until a certificate of occupancy is issued by the Zoning Inspector stating that the proposed use of the building or land conforms to the requirements of this Part.

Use, arrangement or construction contrary to that authorized shall be deemed a violation of this Part.
