The city administration, code enforcement, and building inspector may issue a stop work order whenever any person shall engage in construction, alteration or repair of a structure, building, facility, or improvement without having first obtained a permit for such work when required by this city code or state law, or whenever any person who, holding a permit, is in violation of said permit. Such stop work order, when oral, shall be followed by a written stop work order posted at the site or delivered to the person in person within twenty four (24) hours. It shall be unlawful to continue with any work in violation of a stop work order until such order has been revoked by the city in writing, and any person who continues work shall be cited and assessed the fines and penalties hereinafter prescribed.
