Definition
Programs that inspect homes, apartments, commercial structures and/or other buildings for compliance with structural building code requirements and which may issue certificates of occupancy for those structures that meet the standards. Regulations regarding occupancy inspections vary by jurisdiction, but inspections are generally required when construction of a building is complete and ready to be occupied and may be required when a single family dwelling, duplex or condominium is sold or there is a change in occupancy. Some programs may investigate complaints about neglected, dilapidated and vandalized buildings when the structural integrity of the building is in question or conduct other voluntary inspections upon request. Residential dwellings are exempt from occupancy requirements in some jurisdictions.
