Section 412-101-10 - Certificates of ComplianceA. The Commission may require the applicant to apply for and obtain a certificate of compliance prior to the use or occupancy of any structure or development for which a permit or variance has been issued. When such a requirement is deemed necessary by the Commission, it shall be set forth as a condition in the permit or variance issued by the Commission. The Commission staff may issue such certificates, which shall be granted within thirty (30) days of a showing by the applicant that: (1) the structure or development conforms with the specifications, plans, or other information upon which the permit was granted; (2) all applicable conditions to the permit granted by the Commission have been met. A certificate of compliance may contain such continuing conditions as required by the permit or as may be established by the Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Any person aggrieved by a decision of the staff with regard to a certificate of compliance shall have the right to review of such decision by the Commission within thirty (30) days of the decision, provided that a request for such review is filed with the Commission within ten (10) days of the staff's decision. It shall be unlawful to use or occupy a structure or development prior to the issuance of a certificate of compliance where one is required by the Conditions of a permit or variance.
B. Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph A, a temporary certificate of compliance with conditions may be issued at the discretion of the Commission staff upon a showing by the applicant that he or she has substantially conformed to Section A.1 and A.2.94- 412 C.M.R. ch. 101, § 10
