(A) Whenever the Fire Chief, the Division Chief of Code Enforcement and/or his designee(s), finds any violation of this section, the rules of the Fire Protection and Building Safety Commission (FPBSC), or work being performed in a manner contrary to the rules of the FPBSC, this section, or in a dangerous or unsafe manner, those listed in this section may issue a Stop Work Order.
(B) The Stop Work Order will be in writing and will be given to the owner of the property, or the owner's agent, or to the person doing the work. Upon issuance of a Stop Work Order, the cited work will immediately cease. The Stop Work Order will state the reason for the Order, and the conditions under which the cited work may resume. That Order will require persons to leave the area affected by a violation and prohibit persons from entering the area, or working on the cited violation (unless to correct), until the violation is corrected.
(C) Each person who continues any work after having been served with a Stop Work Order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, will be subject to a violation of Order fine and other penalties as prescribed by law. An order issued under sections of this section may be appealed to the FPBSC.
