University Park — Part XIV Title Six Housing § 1466-02
Point of sale inspection and certificate of occupancy required
Operative Text
The owner/seller of any dwelling, structure, commercial building or other building entering into an agreement to sell or otherwise convey an interest in such dwelling, structure or building shall obtain a point of sale inspection prior to the closing of sale. Such inspection shall be paid for and scheduled by the prospective purchaser or grantee at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of sale. In all cases, however, no premises shall be occupied unless, in addition thereto, there has first been issued by the Director of Economic and Community Development and/or his or her designee a certificate of occupancy.
University Park § 1466-02 requires that before any dwelling, structure, or commercial building changes hands, a point-of-sale inspection must be completed prior to closing. The prospective buyer or grantee is responsible for scheduling and paying for that inspection at least ten days before the closing date. Separately, no premises may be occupied at all unless the Director of Economic and Community Development (or a designee) has first issued a certificate of occupancy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under University Park § 1466-02, property owners and sellers entering into a sale or conveyance agreement should be aware that a point-of-sale inspection is a prerequisite to closing, with the scheduling and cost falling on the buyer rather than the seller. Compliant operators typically confirm that a certificate of occupancy has been issued by the Director of Economic and Community Development before allowing any occupancy of the premises. Keeping records of existing certificates of occupancy and being prepared to cooperate with the inspection process are practices generally associated with smooth, compliant transactions under this provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
University Park § 1466-02 establishes that any premises you occupy must have a valid certificate of occupancy issued by the Director of Economic and Community Development before occupancy is permitted. If you are a prospective purchaser or grantee, this provision places the responsibility on you to schedule and pay for the point-of-sale inspection at least ten days before closing. Tenants or buyers who believe a property is being occupied or conveyed without the required inspection or certificate of occupancy may consider contacting the University Park Department of Economic and Community Development or a local tenant-rights organization to understand available options.
