Before issuing a certificate of occupancy, the appropriate enforcement
officer shall examine or cause to be examined all buildings, structures
and sites for which an application has been filed for a building permit
to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, demolish, or change
the use or occupancy, and he or she may conduct such inspections as
he or she deems appropriate from time to time during and upon completion
of the work for which a building permit has been issued. There shall
be maintained in the Village Clerk's office a record of all such
inspections and examinations, together with a record of findings in
violation of the law.
Upon request, the appropriate enforcement officer 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 such portion or portions as have
been completed may be occupied safely without endangering life or
the public welfare. A temporary certificate of occupancy shall expire
six months from the date of issuance or at an earlier date if specified
within it. A temporary certificate of occupancy may, at the discretion
of the enforcement officer, be renewed an indefinite number of times.
Whenever there are reasonable grounds to believe that any material,
construction, equipment or assembly does not conform with the requirements
of the Uniform Code, this Municipal Code, or other applicable building
laws, rules or regulations, the enforcement officer may require the
same to be subjected to tests in order to furnish proof of such compliance.
