Certificate of Occupancy for New, Altered or Nonconforming Uses.

A new Certificate of Occupancy shall be required for any further use of such building or land.

It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any premises or parts thereof, hereafter created, erected, changed, converted or wholly, partially, altered, until either a Certificate of Occupancy or, in the case of the construction, alteration, or modifications of swimming pools, outside sheds, or oil tanks, a Certificate of Acceptance had been issued by the Construction Official.

It shall be the duty of the Construction Official to keep records of all applications, all permits issued and all Certificates of Occupancy which he/she countersigns, together with a notation of all special conditions involved.
