§ 30-190. Stop work orders.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever the director finds that any operator of a construction site has violated, threatens to violate, or continues to violate, any provision of sections 30-176 through 30-189, or any order issued hereunder, the director may issue a stop work order to the operator, and require that a copy of the stop work order be posted at the construction site and distributed to all city departments and divisions whose decisions affect any activity at the site. Unless express written exception is made by the director, the stop work order shall prohibit any further construction activity, or any commencement of construction activity, at the site and shall bar any further inspection or approval by the city associated with a building permit, grading permit, or any other city approval necessary to commence or continue construction or to assume occupancy at the site. Issuance of a stop work order shall not be a bar against, or a prerequisite for, taking any other action against the violator.
