A. 
A certificate of occupancy must be obtained pursuant to the Uniform Construction Code for all new construction, reconstruction, alterations, conversions or installations of a structure or building. In extraordinary or exceptional situations where construction or alterations have been delayed due to weather or other conditions beyond the owner's control, the Construction Official may authorize the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy to enable the use and occupancy during completion. No such temporary certificate of occupancy shall be issued for more than six months. An extension of such certificate of occupancy shall be issued, upon good cause shown, by the Township Committee. No such temporary permit shall be authorized if the use or occupancy would constitute a health or safety hazard or would be detrimental to the public welfare.
B. 
No temporary certificate of occupancy permit shall be authorized unless a performance guarantee shall be posted with the Township Committee in an amount and form to be approved by the Construction Official to insure the completion of all erection, construction, alteration, repair, or conversion and attendant requirements for which application has theretofore been made. Said performance guarantee may be in the form of a cash deposit or escrow. Such bond may be waived, upon good cause shown, by the Township Committee.
