§ 22-11. Responsibility of owner.

The owner of each dwelling unit subject to this ordinance is hereby charged with the responsibility for making written application in accordance with this ordinance to the Construction Code Official and/ or Housing Official for a certificate of occupancy. In the event that a change of occupancy is also accompanied by a change of ownership of the dwelling unit, the buyer of such dwelling unit may waive the seller's responsibility and assume the same; provided, however, that such waiver shall be in writing, which said waiver shall further state that the buyer is fully aware that he, she or it is assuming responsibility for obtaining a certificate of occupancy pursuant to this ordinance, and provided further that such written waiver shall be filed with the Construction Code Official and/or Housing Official.
