The purpose of this interpretation is to provide a process to review and approve temporary
occupancy requests made on commercial or residential construction projects. IBC Section 110
and R110 allow the Building Official to grant temporary occupancy provided 'the building or
portion thereof can be occupied safely.' It is understood that no building or portion of any
building shall be used or occupied if any fire and life -safety items are outstanding.
FUNDAMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Certain fundamental requirements must be provided and shall be complete and approved before
temporary occupancy is considered:
• The building enclosure is complete (windows, siding, roof, doors).
• Fire rated construction (floor/ceiling, walls & unit separations, etc.) are complete.
• Fire protections systems are complete and in full operation, (i.e., fire sprinkler, standpipes,
fire and smoke detection and notification).
• Components of the means of egress system are complete and operable (fire doors and
windows, illuminated exit signage, and emergency lighting).
• Accessible site and building access, accessible parking, and elevator operational.
• Interior finish materials are complete.
• Required parking spaces per Edmonds Community Development Code are provided.
• Utilities are installed and in operation (i.e., storm, water, sewer, heat, light, and garbage).
• Cross connection protecting the potable water system are installed and in operation.
PROCEDURE FOR REQUESTING TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY
The Building/Project owner (not the contractor or tenant) shall complete the attached request
form and submit with required processing fees to the City Building Official for temporary
occupancy consideration. The form shall include information on the specific units, spaces or
floors requesting occupancy, a written statement of how continued construction and occupant co-
existence can be achieved, a site plan showing Fire Department access, construction worker
parking, construction material storage areas, garbage access etc. A work schedule shall be
included detailing completion of the remainder of the project and estimated date for request for
Certificate of Occupancy for the entire building.
CITY CONDITIONS OF TEMPORARY OCCUPANCY
If temporary occupancy is granted, the City will condition requests with the following:
I. The maximum time allowed for temporary occupancy (final building completion) shall not
exceed 60 days.
2. All performance bonds for the entire project shall be held until final occupancy for all
portions of the building are granted.
3. Partial occupancy inspection fees for each inspecting Department shall be assessed at the
established hourly rate. If the requestor desires a preliminary inspection in preparation of the
Temporary Occupancy additional hourly inspection fees will be charged.
4. All tenant complaints (inconvenience, noise, parking, dust, etc.) must be resolved by the
building owner. Repeated complaints may result in revocation of the temporary occupancy
approval.
5. All required permits have been obtained from the City, all outstanding permit fees, review
fees, inspection fees, etc. have been paid in full.
6. Granting of the temporary occupancy does not waive Building Official or Fire Marshal
authority to revoke occupancy at any time for cause and immediate enforcement action may
be taken.
7. If the building is not complete within 60 days a new request for temporary occupancy must
be requested and all new inspection fees shall be collected; failure to comply shall result in a
Notice of Vacation.
