Certificate of occupancy rules for using a building

111.1 Change of occupancy. A building, structure, or portion thereof shall not be used or occupied, and a change of occupancy of a building or structure or portion thereof shall not be made, until the building official has issued a certificate of occupancy therefor as provided herein. Issuance of a certificate of occupancy shall not be construed as an approval of a violation of the provisions of this code or of other ordinances of the jurisdiction. Exception: Certificates of occupancy are not required for work exempted from permits in accordance with section 105.2, Group R, Division 3 one- and two-family dwellings, and Group U Occupancies. 111.2 Certificate issued. After the building official inspects the building, structure, or portion thereof, and does not find violations of the provisions of this code or other laws that are enforced by the department of building safety, the building official shall issue a certificate of occupancy which may include, but not be limited to the following: 1. The building permit number. 2. The address of the structure. 3. The name and address of the owner or the owner's authorized agent. 4. A description of that portion of the structure for which the certificate is issued. 5. A statement that the described portion of the structure has been inspected for compliance with the requirements of this code for the occupancy and division of occupancy and the use for which the proposed occupancy is classified. 6. The name of the building official. 7. The edition of the code under which the permit was issued. 8. The use and occupancy, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 3 of this code. 9. The type of construction as defined in chapter 6 of this code. 10. If an automatic sprinkler system is provided and whether the sprinkler system is required. 11. Any special stipulations and conditions of the building permit. A fee as set forth in the annual budget shall be paid prior to the issuance of any certificate of occupancy. 111.3 Temporary occupancy. If the building official finds that no substantial hazard will result from occupancy of any building or portions thereof before the same is completed, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued for the use of a portion or portions of a building or structure prior to the completion of the entire building or structure. The building official shall set a time period during which the temporary certificate of occupancy is valid. 111.4 Revocation. The building official is authorized to, in writing, suspend or revoke a certificate of occupancy or completion issued under the provisions of this code wherever the certificate is issued in error, or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or where it is determined that the building or structure or portion thereof is in violation of any ordinance or regulation or any of the provisions of this code. 111.5 Documents issued. The owner or the owner's authorized agent shall keep a copy of the certificate of occupancy documents at the property and make it available for reviewing. 111.6 Violations. If a building, structure, or portion thereof occupied prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy when a certificate of occupancy is required, the building official shall collect a $1,000 fine prior to issuing the certificate. This shall not limit the ability of the department to avail itself of any other remedies available by law. ( Ord. No. 5507 , § 2, 2023) SECTION 112 BOARD OF VARIANCES AND APPEALS
