It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of or occupy any building or premises or part thereof hereafter created, located, erected, changed, altered, converted or enlarged wholly or partly until a certificate of occupancy has been issued for the premises in accordance with the requirements of the building code. The certificate shall certify that the structure or use complies with the provisions of this chapter. Such occupancy permits shall be granted or denied within 10 days from the date that a written application is filed with the Zoning Officer stating that the erection or alteration is completed.

Each application involving the completion of new construction shall be accompanied by a final as-built plot plan showing an accurate location of the building or addition concerned with existing front, side and rear ties from the foundation to the property lines and all other information as required in this chapter.

Neither a change of occupancy, excluding residential, or an alteration of a lot or plot inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter shall be made unless a new certificate of occupancy is obtained.
