[Adopted 8-18-1981, effective 8-27-1981 (Section
4.00 of Part VIII of the 1991 Codification as updated through 6-1-1996)]
No person shall change the use of an existing
building from seasonal to year-round use unless the on-site disposal
system has the capacity to properly dispose of sewage generated by
year-round use and unless the building conforms to minimum standards
of fitness for human habitation. The conversion of a building, or
buildings, constituting a cottage colony, hotel, inn or rooming house,
or of a facility required to be licensed as a recreational camp, overnight
camp or cabin, motel, or mobile home park under § 32A to
I of Chapter 140, of the General Laws, to condominium-type ownership,
or the sale of a unit within such a condominium, shall be deemed to
be a change in use from seasonal to year-round use.
The health agent, upon becoming aware of the
recording or registration of a master deed for such a condominium,
or for a unit within such a condominium, at the Barnstable Registry
of Deeds or on request of a property owner proposing to convert to
condominium-type ownership, shall inspect the premises conveyed thereby
to ascertain whether they conform with all applicable state and local
laws and regulations relating to septic systems and fitness for human
habitation. If the premises do not so conform the health agent shall
enforce said laws and regulations according to their terms with respect
to the premises. If the premises do conform, the health agent shall
issue a certificate of compliance.
