It shall be unlawful to use or to permit the use of any building, structure, premises, lot or land, or part thereof hereafter erected or altered, enlarged or moved or put into use, in whole or in part, after the effective date of this chapter, or to use or to permit the use of any building, structure, premises, lot or land, or part thereof of which the use is changed, until a certificate of occupancy shall have been issued by the Zoning Administrator. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for any building, structure, premises, lot or land unless the erection, alteration, enlargement or moving of such building or structure or part thereof and the intended use thereof are in conformity in all respects with the provisions of this chapter.

No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Zoning Administrator in a case where a permit is required pursuant to Chapter 146, Sand Dunes and Ocean Beach Management Program, unless such a permit has been issued and the work authorized by such permit has been completed in accordance with the terms and provisions of such permit.

Notwithstanding the failure of a building or structure to comply with a setback requirement, the Zoning Administrator shall have the authority to issue a certificate of occupancy where the variance between the actual setback and the required setback is not more than six inches. If the Zoning Administrator determines, in his sole discretion, that such setback relief [relief of not more than six inches] is warranted, the Zoning Administrator may grant such relief by issuing such certificate, in which event, a setback variance from the Board of Appeals shall not be required.

No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Zoning Administrator until the following shall have been completed:

Upon request, the Zoning Administrator may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for a building or structure or part thereof before the entire work covered by the building permit shall have been completed, provided that such portion or portions as have been completed may be occupied safely without endangering life or the public health or welfare. A temporary certificate of occupancy shall remain effective for a period not exceeding three months from its date of issuance. For good cause, the Zoning Administrator may allow a maximum of two extensions for periods not exceeding three months each.

It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any building or other structure located on any premises, lot or land, or part thereof, as to which there has been a change in ownership unless within three months either before or after the effective date of such change of ownership there shall have been issued by the Zoning Administrator an updated certificate of occupancy. The updated certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Zoning Administrator only if the premises involved has a valid certificate of occupancy or is entitled to a preexisting certificate of occupancy and, based upon a visual inspection of the grounds and the exterior of each building and other structure located thereon, all buildings and other structures are in conformity with this chapter and the Property Maintenance Code of New York State (such Property Maintenance Code being applicable in the Village pursuant to Chapter 73).[1] The issuance of an updated certificate of occupancy shall not signify or imply that the Zoning Administrator has inspected the interior of any building or other structure or any of its electrical, plumbing or other systems. The requirement for an updated certificate of occupancy set forth in this subsection shall not apply if the Zoning Administrator shall have issued a certificate of occupancy with respect to such premises within the 120 days immediately preceding the effective date of the change of ownership. An updated certificate of occupancy map be applied for at any time by an owner (or authorized designee) of any premises for which a certificate of occupancy shall have previously been issued. The form of such application shall be approved by resolution of the Board of Trustees. The amount of the application fee to be charged for an updated certificate of occupancy shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
