The building commissioner is authorized to establish rules and regulations of general applicability for specific sites, both prior to and during the period of operations under the permit as shall be necessary to insure that the site of operations be maintained in a clean and safe manner so as not to constitute a public nuisance or hazard, that all construction or operations performed under the permit be substantially completed within a reasonable time period, and that all work performed under the permit be done in a manner consistent with the provisions of this code.
A copy of the rules and regulations issued by the building commissioner pertaining to operations or construction at a specific site shall be personally delivered to the owner, permit holder or contractor in charge of the site.
In the event the building commissioner determines that a violation of either the general or specific rules and regulations governing the construction or operations under the permit has occurred, he shall notify the owner, permit holder or contractor by certified mail. If the owner, permit holder or contractor shall fail to correct the violation within five days of receipt of the notice, the commissioner may take all necessary action to abate the violations which includes but is not limited to: revoking the permit, issuing a stop-work order and referring the matter to either the buildings hearings division within the department of administrative hearings or the corporation counsel to institute appropriate proceedings. Any owner, permit holder or contractor who is found to have violated rules and regulations established pursuant to this section shall be subject to fined* in accordance with Section 13-12-040 for each day the violation is deemed to exist.
