provided that such portion or portions shall be occupied safely. The code official shall

set a time period during which the temporary certificate of occupancy is valid.

[A] 110.4 Revocation. The code official is authorized to, in writing, suspend or revoke a

certificate of occupancy or completion issued under the provisions of this code wherever

the certificate is issued in error or on the basis of incorrect information supplied, or

where it is determined that the building or structure or portion thereof is in violation of

any ordinance or regulation or any of the provisions of this code.

(NEW) 110.5 Reissuance or reinstatement of certificate of occupancy. When a

certificate of occupancy has been revoked or suspended, it shall be reissued or

reinstated upon correction of the specific condition or conditions cited as the cause of

the revocation or suspension and the revocation or suspension of a certificate of

occupancy shall not be used as justification for requiring a building or structure to be

subject to a later edition of the code than that under which such building or structure

was initially constructed.

(NEW. Option 1) 110.6 Issuance of certificate for pre-USBC buildings or

structures. When a building or structure was constructed prior to being subject to a

duly adopted building code in the locality and the Department of Building Safety does

not have a certificate of occupancy for the building or structure, the owner or owner’s

agent may submit a written request for a certificate of occupancy to be created. The

code official, after receipt of the request, shall issue a certificate of occupancy provided

a determination is made that there are no current violations of the International

Maintenance Code or the International Fire Code and the occupancy classification of

the building or structure has not changed. Such buildings and structures shall not be

prevented from continued use.

Exception: When no certificate of occupancy exists, but the Department of

Building Safety has records indicating that a certificate of occupancy did exist,

then the code official may either verify in writing that a certificate did exist or

issue a certificate based upon the records.

10/28/14 notes: Consider revising the sentence that tells the CO to issue a c of o. Put qualifiers first, then

have the CO issue the C of O based on compliance. Revised section titles to be for generic codes

adopted locally. Consensus of the group was to move forward with work on Option 2 and stop work on

Option 1.
