Plumsted City Zoning Code

§ 15-12.4

Certificate of Occupancy.

[Ord. #83A, § 12.04]
It shall be unlawful to use, or permit the use of any building, or premises or part thereof, now or hereafter created, located or erected, changed, converted or enlarged, wholly or partly, until a certificate of occupancy has been issued for that premises certifying that the structure or use complies with the provisions of this chapter, or other pertinent Township ordinances. Such occupancy permits shall be granted or denied within ten days from the date that a written application is filed with the zoning officer. Pending the issuance of a regular certificate of occupancy, a temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued by the zoning officer for a period not exceeding six months during the completion of alterations or during partial occupancy of a building, pending its completion. Such temporary certificate shall not be construed as in any way altering the respective rights, duties and obligations of the owners or of the Township relating to the use or occupancy of the premises or any other matter covered by this chapter, and such temporary certificate shall not be issued, except under such restrictions and provisions as will adequately insure the safety of the occupants.
