Summary

Greeley requires inspection and sign-off after each stage of construction before work can proceed, plus a final inspection and certificate of occupancy, under Municipal Code § 22-39.

Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection without first obtaining the approval of the building official. ... There shall be a final inspection and approval of all systems, buildings, and structures, when completed and ready for occupancy and/or use. When applicable, final occupancy shall not occur until a certificate of occupancy has been released.

Full Breakdown

Section 22-39 amends International Building Code § 110.6 to bar work from proceeding past each inspected stage until the building official approves it; the official either signs off on completed work or flags what fails to comply, and noncompliant portions cannot be covered or concealed until authorized. Every project ends with a final inspection and approval of all systems, buildings, and structures before occupancy, and where applicable, occupancy cannot begin until a certificate of occupancy is issued. Reinspection fees apply under § 22-37 when work isn't ready, plans aren't on-site, or access is denied on the scheduled date.

Violations & Fines

Covering or concealing work before it's inspected and approved is a code violation; reinspection fees apply under § 22-37, and occupying a building without a required certificate of occupancy violates § 22-39.
