In addition to the certification as to the compliance with the permit and the provisions of law, certificates of occupancy shall state the purposes for which the building may be used, in whole or in several parts, and may contain such special stipulations as the circumstances of the case may require, consistent with the provisions of law and ordinance.

C. 

A certificate of occupancy shall be issued within 10 days after application therefor if the building, at the time of such an application, is not unlawful, which certificate may be endorsed upon the building permit.

D. 

The owner or his/her agent must submit to the Code Enforcement Department an "as built" survey, executed by a duly Licensed surveyor or professional engineer, verifying the true location of the new building or additions in reference to all the property lines and existing structures.
