               <span class="ital">Inspections.</span> The inspection department shall inspect all buildings and structures and work therein
               for which a permit of any kind has been issued as often as necessary in order to determine
               whether the work complies with this article and the appropriate codes. When deemed
               necessary by the appropriate inspector materials and assemblies may be inspected at
               the point of manufacture or fabrication, or inspections may be made by approved and
               recognized inspection organizations; provided, no approval shall be based upon reports
               of such organizations unless the same are in writing and certified by a responsible
               officer or such organization. All holders of permits, or their agents, shall notify
               the inspection department and the appropriate inspector at each of the following stages
               of construction so that approval may be given before work is continued:

               or moved shall be occupied, and no change of type of occupancy shall be made in any
               existing building or part thereof, until the inspection department has issued a certificate

               or portions of a building which may safely be occupied prior to final completion and
               occupancy of the entire building. Application for a certificate of occupancy may be
               made by the owner or his agency after all final inspections have been made for new
               buildings, or in the case of existing buildings, after supplying the information and
               data necessary to determine compliance with this article. The inspection department
               shall issue a certificate of occupancy when, after examination and inspection, it
               is found that the building in all respects conforms to the provisions of this article.
               No certificate of occupancy shall be required for any building the construction of
               which was begun prior to the effective date of the ordinance from which this article
               is derived.

               any setback requirement in a chain of title, subdivision plat, or any zoning ordinance.
               The fact that a building permit is issued does not waive any setback requirement.
               When a violation of a set back requirement is found prior to the issuance of a certificate
               of occupancy, the inspection officials shall issue a stop order and no certificate
               of occupancy shall be issued as long as the setback violation is not resolved.
