[Amended 4-15-2010]
It shall be unlawful to occupy or permit the occupancy of any
land, building, or structure for which a permit has been issued, or
to occupy or permit the occupancy of any building or structure hereafter
altered, extended, erected, repaired, reoccupied, or moved, unless
and until a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Code Official
for such occupancy and use in accordance with the Building Code and
this chapter.
A temporary certificate of occupancy may be issued for all or
a portion of a building or structure in instances where building or
site improvements, as required by this chapter and any other permits
or approvals issued by the Township, are not completed, provided that
such portion of the building, structure or site is in conformity with
the provisions of this chapter and the Building Code, and provided
further that no threat to public safety exists. The Code Official
may set a time limit for the duration of the temporary certificate
of occupancy, which shall be indicated on the temporary certificate,
and thereafter occupancy may only be authorized under a final certificate
of occupancy. Failure to obtain a final certificate of occupancy within
the specified time shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
