CONSTRUCTION AND OCCUPANCY

Building construction should not commence until the Subsidizing Agency has granted Final Approval

and the Regulatory Agreement has been recorded with the Registry of Deeds. Once the Subsidizing Agency has granted Final Approval, the developer can apply for a building permit to begin construction

of the project. Many communities have different pre-construction procedures for large or complicated

projects, and it is common to require developers to attend a pre-construction conference with

the building inspector, representatives of the police, fire, water, and sewer departments, and other

municipal departments that have construction inspection and sign-off requirements.
