Certificates of occupancy shall be applied for coincidentally with the application for a building permit, and shall be issued within seven days after the lawful erection or alteration of such building or buildings shall have been completed.

The home occupation administrator shall make applications for home occupation certificates available in the office of the city clerk. Upon receipt by the city clerk of the completed application accompanied by the application fee, as from time to time established by the corporate authorities, the city clerk shall transmit the application to the home occupation administrator. The administrator shall review the application and make a determination of whether or not a home occupation certificate shall issue. If the home occupation certificate shall issue, the administrator shall sign the certificate. The certificate shall become effective upon approval by the corporate authorities. If the application is denied, said denial shall be accompanied by a finding of fact made by the administrator consisting of a brief statement outlining the reason(s) for denial.
