               approval shall be uncovered at the request of the inspector and placed in condition

               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 agent after all final inspection 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 appropriate regulatory codes and the
               zoning ordinance for the occupancy intended. The inspections 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, and the regulatory
               codes.
