Chapter 313: MUNICIPAL INSPECTION OF BUILDINGS
§2357. No occupancy without certificate; appeal
Subject to the provisions of Title 10, chapter 951, a new building may not be occupied until the inspector of buildings has
given a certificate that the same has been built in accordance with section 2353, and so as to be safe from fire. If the owner
permits it to be so occupied without such certificate, the owner must be penalized in accordance with Title 30-A, section

own judgment complied with section 2353, an appeal may be taken to the municipal officers and, if on such appeal it is decided
by them that the section has been complied with, the owner of the building is not liable to a fine for want of the certificate
of the inspector.
