In  the  case of facilities which have not been completed prior to   the close of a taxable year for which a deduction may be  claimed  under   the  Tax Law, a temporary certificate of compliance may be issued if the   commissioner or his representative is satisfied, on  the  basis  of  the   construction   which   has  taken  place,  that  such  facilities,  when   completed, will be in compliance with the provisions of titles 1 to  11,   inclusive,  and  title  19  of  article  17,  article 19, and title 1 of   article 27 of this chapter; of the  Public  Health  Law;  of  the  state   sanitary  code,  and codes, rules, regulations, permits or orders issued   pursuant thereto. Such a  temporary  certificate  shall  apply  only  to   expenditures  made  in  the  taxable  year  with respect to which such a   certificate is issued.3. The certificate of compliance may be revoked by  the  commissioner,   after  providing  an  opportunity to be heard, upon a determination that   the facility to which it was applicable either is not, or has not  been,   in  compliance  with  applicable  provisions  of this chapter, the state   sanitary code or codes, rules, regulations,  permits  or  orders  issued   pursuant  thereto.  Upon  revocation,  the commissioner shall notify the   State Tax Commission.
