Flex Space issue

Do you typically need a certificate of Occupancy to lease an industrial flex space?  This space is used for a contractor to store his tools, and has a small office and bathroom.  They are not selling anything out of it.  It's just a storage garage.  Let me know if you have any experience with these.

OP.  Don't need a certificate of occupancy but does need to meet the zoning allowed.  Check with PZ department.

OP.  I might have missed your question.  If this is a brand new facility no matter what, you will still need a Certificate of Occupancy if that PZ entity requires.
