1353.11 PERMITS REQUIRED.
   (a)    Remodeling, rehabilitation, and new construction activities shall require the same permits from the Municipality, County, or other authorizing source, and the payment of the same fees, as would be required on a new structure or undeveloped premises. This requirement shall pertain to structural and building support systems and shall not pertain to superficial structural embellishments like siding, roofing, and the like.
   (b)    Whenever it comes to the attention of the Property Maintenance Office that work is being performed contrary to this chapter, a stop-work order shall be promptly issued to the owner of the premises involved, the agent of the owner, or the person doing the work. The Property Maintenance Office shall also post a placard at the site of the work informing the public and all concerned that work at the site has been stopped by official order. The order may be oral or written and shall, in any case, state the conditions under which the work may be resumed. The order shall also direct the performance of the work as may be necessary to remove any violations of the Codified Ordinances. A stop-work order shall not obviate the need for nuisance abatement in accord with schedules specified elsewhere in this chapter. (Ord. 1990-04. Passed 6-19-90.)
