[Amended 12-31-1984; 5-27-1997 by L.L. No. 2-1997; 8-24-2010]
A. It shall be unlawful to use or permit the use of any
building or premises, or part thereof hereafter created, erected or
enlarged, or of any building or premises or part thereof hereafter
changed or converted to a different use until a certificate of occupancy
shall have been issued to the owner by the DBD. Such certificate shall
show that such buildings or premises or parts thereof, and the proposed
use thereof, are in conformity to the provisions of this chapter.
A guaranteed survey showing location of buildings on the lot shall
be prerequisite to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. Prior
to issuance of the certificate of occupancy for a dwelling unit, commercial
building, industrial building or swimming pool approval in writing
must be obtained from the City of Glen Cove Water Department for the
installation of a water meter and backflow prevention valves. Such
certificates of occupancy shall be applied for at the same time an
application is filed for a building permit and shall be issued by
the DBD within five days after a request for the same shall have been
applied for by any owner, provided that the DBD finds after inspecting
the premises that the building and the use of the building and the
use of the premises comply with the provisions of this chapter. The
fee for such certificate of occupancy shall be set forth from time
to time by the City Council. The DBD may issue a temporary certificate of occupancy
which shall expire at the end of six months, and which shall not be
renewable, for the use of a part of a building.
B. Upon written request by the owner, the DBD shall issue
a certificate of occupancy use for any existing building or premises
if, upon inspection, he or she finds that such building and the use
thereof and the use of such premises conforms to the requirements
of this chapter and all other applicable provisions of this Code,
laws, rules and regulations. All such certificates of occupancy use
shall be kept on file open to the public. The fee for the issuance
of a certificate of occupancy use shall be as set forth from time
to time by the City Council and shall be payable to the City of Glen Cove. A guaranteed
survey showing location of buildings on the lot shall be a prerequisite
to the issuance of such certificate.
