§ 1301.22 STOP-WORK ORDER.
   (A)   Notice. Whenever it shall come to the attention of the Building Official or his or her representative that work of any kind is being prosecuted contrary to the provisions of the code or in an unsafe or dangerous manner, he or she shall promptly issue a stop-work order to the owner of the premises involved, or to the agent of such owner, or the person doing such work and shall post at the site of the work, a distinctive placard conforming to the approved rules informing the public and all concerned that work at the site has been stopped by official order. Upon receiving such order such recipient thereof shall immediately cease such work and cause such work to be ceased by all other persons engaged thereon. Such order may be oral or written and shall in all cases state the conditions under which work may be resumed. Such order shall also direct the performance of such work as may be necessary to remove any violation of the code and any conditions which the Building Official or his or her representative deems unsafe and shall describe what corrective work is necessary. In the event the recipient of an order disagrees therewith he or she may request confirmation thereof in writing from the Building Official or his or her representative and may then appeal from such order as provided under § 1303.01, but such appeal shall not be deemed authority to resume such work until such appeal has been heard and favorably acted upon.
   (B)   Unlawful continuance. Any person who shall violate any such order or continue any such prohibited work after notice, oral or written, that any such order has been issued shall be liable to the penalties prescribed in § 1301.99 and the Building Official or his or her representative may proceed as provided in § 1301.21.
