§ 11-14. Stop orders.

Whenever the Building Inspector has reasonable grounds to believe that work on any structure or premises is being performed in violation of the provisions of the applicable law, code, rules or regulations or not in conformity with the provisions of an application, plans or specifications on the basis of, which a building, grading and drainage permit was issued, or in an unsafe and dangerous manner, he shall notify the owner of the property or the owner's agent to suspend all work, and any such persons shall forthwith stop such work and suspend all building activities until the stop order has been rescinded. Such order and notice shall be in writing, shall state the conditions under which the work may be resumed and shall be served upon a person to whom it is directed either by delivering it personally to him or by posting the same upon a conspicuous portion of the premises where the work is being performed and sending a copy of the same to him by certified mail at the address set forth in the application for permission for the construction of such structure.
