Requirement. No land or building or other structure or part thereof hereafter erected or altered in its use or building or structure shall be used or occupied until the Zoning Enforcement Officer shall have issued a certificate of occupancy stating that such land, building, structure or part thereof and the proposed occupancy or use thereof are found to be in conformity with the provisions of this chapter and upon approval of the Code Enforcement Officer as to the conformance of the building or structure with Chapter 98 of the Village of Tivoli Code.
Issuance. Within five days after notification that a building or structure or premises or part thereof is ready for occupancy or use, it shall be the duty of the Zoning Enforcement Officer to make a final inspection thereof and issue a certificate of occupancy if the land, building, structure or part thereof is found to conform with the provisions of this chapter, and the Code Enforcement Officer has found the building, structure or part thereof conforms with the provisions of Chapter 98 of the Village of Tivoli Code.

On the serving of notice by the Zoning Enforcement Officer of any violation of any of the provisions or requirements in respect to any structure or land or the use thereof, the certificate shall thereupon become null and void and a new certificate shall be required for any further use of such structure or land.
