Reno:
Yes, multiple (All) AHJ's must sign-off for a CO to be issued, and NO that is not an NEC item.

That said, I as the Electrical Subcode Official (AHJ) have to 'sign-off' for CO Approval. That is usually accomplished upon Final Inspection and approval. Now, IMHO 'Final' means that all work is completed, and there should be some means of illumination in each and every required area. As I said above, a half switched receptacle is compliant, without anything being plugged-in. However, a room/area that has a blanked off ceiling or wall lighting outlet does not fly.

It is very rare to have this type scenario occur in the field. In the instances were it has, a keyless, 'el-cheapo', or a paddle fan with light kit showed up fairly quick.

As to Gregs comment about a permit for the installation of 'missing' fixtures...I'm still laughing. Our UCC classifies that under 'repair' for which no permit is required.
