22.02.110 Enforcement--Stop work orders.

Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of this chapter, Section 22.02.510(D), or the technical codes or to a permit issued or to other pertinent laws or regulations, the building official may order the work stopped by notice in writing served on any persons engaged in the doing or causing such work to be done, and any such persons shall forthwith stop such work until authorized by the building official to proceed with the work. Whenever any work has been stopped for one or more of the reasons above, an investigative fee of seventy-five dollars per hour (one-hour minimum) shall be paid to the building division for investigation, supervisory costs, and record keeping before any work pertaining to the stop work order can again commence. Any person who shall knowingly proceed to do construction-related work in violation of any stop work order shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. (Ord. 3618 § 2 (part), 2008)
