Certificate of Occupancy Rochester, NY

[Sam Torrey]

Hello all! 1st post ever here!

I recently purchased a single family rental property here in Rochester about 15 min away from where I live.

I went to go apply for a COO and noticed on the form a yes/no question that i dont know how I should answer. It asks whether the property is vacant or occupied.

As of today, 5/5/2020 it is vacant. However by the end of the month our renters will move in. What should I mark? I am leaning towards marking it "no" the property is not vacant because by the time an inspector briefly visits, there will be people there. Thoughts?

What should I do?
