(A) Site inspection.
(1) Any party issued a permit pursuant to this subchapter shall make the worksite available to the city and to all others as authorized by law for inspection at all reasonable times during the execution of and upon completion of the work. If the city has given the party notice of its intent to inspect the excavation, the permittee shall provide the city with advanced notice of at least two business days when the appropriate portion of the activity is ready for inspection. If the permittee was not notified of the city’s intent to inspect the excavation site as a condition of the permit or the city failed to inspect after being provided the required notice, the excavation may be permanently covered.
(2) Any excavation with a required approval or inspection that has been covered prior to the two-day notification period shall be uncovered for inspection at that permittee’s expense, upon request of the city.
(3) If the construction or restoration does not meet the standards under this chapter, the city may order reasonable corrective measures.
(B) Authority of the City Manager.
(1) At the time of inspection, the City Manager may order the immediate cessation of any work that he or she in good faith believes poses a serious threat to the life, health, safety or well-being of the public.
(2) The City Manager may issue an order to the permittee for any work that does not conform to the terms of the permit or other applicable ordinance, resolution, regulation, standard, condition or code. The order shall state that failure to correct the violation will be cause for revocation of the permit. The permittee shall proceed with the corrective work before undertaking any additional work under the permit. Within 30 days after issuance of the order, the permittee shall present proof to the City Manager that the violation has been corrected. If such proof has not been presented within the required time, the City Manager may revoke the permit, or for good cause shown, extend the period of time allowed for the corrective work to be completed.
