(a)At the discretion of a construction-permitting agency, a temporary approval for occupancy may be issued if it is determined that a building or structure or a designated portion of a building or structure is sufficiently complete so that it may be safely occupied, or that work performed pursuant to a construction permit may be safely put to the use for which it is intended. The temporary approval for occupancy may place limitations upon the occupancy or use of a building or structure or it may require the State agency receiving such temporary approval to undertake specific precautions when using or occupying the premises. Any required limitations or precautions shall be clearly stated upon a temporary approval for occupancy when issued.
(b)A temporary approval for occupancy shall be valid for a period specified by the construction-permitting agency issuing such approval, such period not to exceed one year. A temporary approval for occupancy may be renewed at the discretion of the issuing agency if it is determined that the particular building or structure may be safely occupied or safely put to the use for which it is intended.
(c)Failure to comply with any limitations or precautions specified on a temporary approval for occupancy shall invalidate such approval.
