A. Certificates of occupancy. Certificates of occupancy
shall be issued by the Construction Official of the Township of Wyckoff
in the manner prescribed in the Uniform Construction Code of the State
of New Jersey. No building or structure or part thereof or land shall
be occupied or used in whole or in part for any purpose until a certificate
of occupancy has been issued.
B. Change of occupant devoted to a business or industrial use. No building shall be used in whole or in part for business or industrial purposes by any new occupant until a zoning permit has been issued stating that the use of the building complies with the provisions of this chapter. Such zoning permit shall be required notwithstanding the fact that the building has been previously used or occupied for business or industrial purposes by a prior occupant. Off-street parking and loading spaces shall be required in accordance with Article
VI at the time of such change in occupancy unless the Board of Adjustment or the Planning Board shall grant a variance from such requirements. Copies of all such zoning permits issued shall be forwarded to the Township Board of Health by the Building Department Office of the Township of Wyckoff.
C. Certificate of occupancy on unimproved street. In
the event that a construction permit is issued for a building on an
unimproved street in reliance upon a performance guarantee and the
street is not completed prior to completion of the building, then
a certificate of occupancy shall not be issued unless the Planning
Board finds that the street is temporarily adequate in respect to
public health, safety and general welfare. No certificate of occupancy
shall be issued unless the street leading to a building is in such
condition as to be passable at all times by fire engines, ambulances
and police cars.
D. Violations render zoning permits and certificates
of occupancy null and void. Upon notice by the Construction Official
or Zoning Officer to an owner that a property is found to be in violation
of any of the requirements of this chapter or the terms and conditions
of any site plan, variance, conditional use approval or permit approval,
the zoning permit or certificate of occupancy issued for such property
shall be null and void, the property shall be deemed to be in violation
of this chapter and the owner subject to penalties hereinafter prescribed.
A new zoning permit and/or certificate of occupancy shall be required
for such property upon the correction of the violation.
