§ 105. Certificate of occupancy required.

A certificate of occupancy issued by the building inspector is required in advance of occupancy or use of:

105.1 A building hereafter erected, altered or moved;

105.2 Any lot or a change in the use hereof,

105.3 Any nonconforming use that is existing at the time of the enactment of this ordinance or an amendment thereto or that is changed, extended, altered or rebuilt thereafter. The certificate of occupancy shall state specifically wherein the nonconforming use fails to meet the provisions of this ordinance.

A certificate of occupancy, either for the whole or a part of a building, shall be applied for coincident with the application for a building permit and shall be issued within ten days after the erection or structural alterations of such building, or part, shall have been completed in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued unless the proposed use of a building or land conforms to the applicable provisions of this ordinance. If the certificate of occupancy is denied, the building inspector shall be notified of the refusal. A record of all certificates shall be kept on file in the office of the building inspector, and copies shall be furnished on request to any person having a proprietary or tenancy interest in the building or land involved.
