(B) This right and duty shall exist and be performed irrespective of any permit that may or may not have been either required or issued for the work involved.
(C) The suspension of work shall be for such time as may be necessary to secure a correction of the particular violations and features complained of or until a satisfactory agreement and arrangement, approved of by the Building Director, is reached that such correction will be made, and if a court trial is had, then the work shall be suspended and held in abeyance until the court renders its decision.
(D) Any person having charge of, directing, or in any way engaged in work that violates this chapter, who shall refuse or fail to promptly desist from such work on written notice from the Building Director, or who having desisted on either verbal or written or posted notice shall resume the work before the violation which occasioned the order is corrected or agreed to be corrected satisfactorily to the Building Director and consistent with the purposes of this chapter, or who before having been authorized by the Building Director, resumes work stopped by the Building Director, shall be deemed guilty of violating this chapter and permits for work being done in violation of this chapter may be canceled or revoked on order of the Building Director.
