Certificate of Occupancy

Obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy (CO) is a crucial step to occupy a new building or make significant renovations to an existing property.

A CO states the legal use and/or permitted occupancy of a building.

New buildings need a CO, and existing buildings must have an amended CO when there is a change in use, egress or occupancy.

To obtain a CO all building violations must be resolved, all associated applications closed, and inspections passed.

JCC will organize all required items, conduct in house inspections to detect and resolve objections before inspectors arrive, and schedule and attend DOB inspections.

JCC’s attention to detail allows clients to adhere to construction schedules, submit accurate paperwork, and obtain timely COs.

By proactively managing the CO process, JCC can assist in avoiding delays, ensuring legal compliance, and allowing you to move confidently into your new space.
