Whenever any work is being done in violation of the provisions of this subchapter, or at variance with the terms of any permit issued for such work, the Building Inspector may order all work on the job stopped until such time as any violation or variance is eliminated and any work or installation made in violation of this subchapter corrected. Such stop order, if oral, shall be followed by a written stop order within 24 hours of the issuance of the verbal stop order (excluding Saturday, Sunday, or holidays). No person shall do or perform any work in violation of such stop order, except as may be necessary to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. Such stop order may be revoked by the Building Inspector or Council.
