Temporary certification of occupancy

[Jennifer McKay]

Hi there, does anyone know how to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for a residential new construction in San Jose? We have everything done except PGE is taking forever to do the meter hook up (no schedule at the moment).

TCOs are through your building department, and at least locally you can ask your inspector for this. That said I'm not sure the TCO will help here because it is a meter set with PGE, not something that is a City permit issue...maybe they can allow it with a temp pole/meter but I wouldn't count on it.
