This section talks about the manner of inspections done by government officials to deem if the new
or renovated building is following the National Building Code.
Only a licensed architect or engineer will be allowed to do the inspection. Of course, the owner can
also recommend the architect or engineer and the government will check if this person is qualified
for inspecting the new or renovated building. Once the inspection is done, a certification will be
released to the owner as proof that the building has been inspected and does follow the
requirements as stated in the National Building Code of the Philippines.
 
(b) Certificates of Occupancy. The proper Certificate of Occupancy shall be issued to the applicant
within seven (7) days from completion of the requirements for inspection and occupancy and
payment of any and all fees therefor, unless the building Official or his Deputy issuing the
Certificate shall show cause in writing why the Certificate should not be issued and shall indicate
thereon the particular provisions of the Code violated or the particular requirements not complied
with. Within fifteen (15) days from receipt by the applicant of the advice from Building Official or his
Deputy authorized to issue the certificate why the certificate should not be issued, or why the
certificate is suspended or revoked, the applicant may appeal the non-issuance, suspension, or
revocation thereof, to the Mayor of the chartered city or municipality, or the Governor of the
province where the building for which the certificate is being applied for is located. Said appeal
shall be decided within fifteen (15) days from receipts thereof, otherwise, the applicant may bring
the matter to the proper Court of Justice for final disposition. The building may be occupied only
upon issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy.

certificate will be given to any applicant within seven days after the submission of the requirements
needed for inspection. Once given, the owner of the said building can now start accepting lodgers
