8 CCR 1507-31, art. 8 - CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY AND CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE
8.1 The Business Entity shall not occupy or
use a Health Facility or portion thereof for the provision of services until a
completed and closed Permit, Certificate of Compliance, Certificate of
Occupancy or a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy has been issued by Division
and/or the local building department.
8.2 The Division or the local building
department may issue a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy if a Health Facility
requires immediate occupancy and if the Business Entity has passed the
appropriate inspections, including fire inspections, that indicate there are no
life safety issues. If no renewal of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is
issued or a permanent Certificate of Occupancy is not issued, the building
shall be vacated upon expiration of the Temporary Certificate of
Occupancy.
8.3 A Health Facility
shall not provide health services without a valid Certificate of Compliance
that has been issued by the Division for that portion of the Health Facility.
If no renewal of the Certificate of Compliance is issued, the building shall be
vacated upon expiration of the Certificate of Compliance.
8.4 Certificates of Occupancy and
Certificates of Compliance will be issued based on the codes in effect during
the most recent inspection of the facility. No Certificate of Compliance will
be issued until compliance with the applicable codes and standards has been
demonstrated through record review of local Authority Having Jurisdiction
documents of inspection and certification, Division inspection and
certification, or other appropriate documentation, showing the building to be
in conformance with applicable codes and standards applicable at the time of
issuance. The Business Entity is required to submit these documents to the
local Authority Having Jurisdiction.
8.5 For the initial issuance of the
Certificates of Compliance after July 1, 2013 the Certificate will be based on
the codes as adopted and enforced by CDPHE during the last inspection or in
effect upon the original submittal for plan review of the facility within the
five years prior to July 1, 2013. For facilities that have not been inspected
within the last five years, the Certificate will be issued based on the codes
as adopted and enforced by CDPHE as of June 30, 2013.
