(a) Adjudication Orders Required Before Legal Proceedings. Before the Municipality attempts to enforce Chapters 3781 and 3791 of the Ohio Revised Code or any rules adopted pursuant thereto, by any remedy, civil or criminal, it shall issue an adjudication order within the meaning of Sections 119.06 to 119.13 of the Ohio Revised Code or a stop work order as provided in Section 1301.07. Every adjudication order shall:
(1) Cite the law or rules directly involved and shall specify what appliances, site preparations, additions, or alterations to structures, plans, materials, assemblages or procedures are necessary for the same to comply with Chapters 3781 and 3791 of the Ohio Revised Code.
(2) Include notice to the party of the procedure for appeal and right to a hearing if requested within thirty days of the mailing of the notice. The notice shall also inform the party that at the hearing he may be represented by counsel, present his arguments or contentions orally or in writing and present evidence and examine witnesses appearing for or against him.
(b) Notice of Violation. The Building Official is authorized to serve a notice of violation or order on the person responsible for the erection, construction, alteration, extension, repair, moving, removal, demolition or occupancy of a building or structure. When the Building Official finds that work or equipment is contrary to approved construction documents and the rules of the Board of Building Standards, the Building Official shall send a notice in writing to the owner of said building or the owner's agent which shall state where and in what respect the work or equipment does not conform to the approved plans for same and the rules of the Board. The notice shall specify a reasonable period of time in which to conform to said plans or the rules of the Board. Before any work may continue on the construction, erection, alteration, or equipment of any building for which the approval is invalid, the owner of the building shall resubmit the plans or drawings and specifications for approval as required under Section 105.3 of the Ohio Building Code.
(c) Prosecution of Violation. Upon the issuance of any order provided for in this section or Section 1301.07, the person receiving an order shall cease work upon the site preparations or structure to be constructed, or in the case of an industrialized unit, the installation of the unit, or shall cease using the appliance, materials, assemblages or manufactured product identified in the order until such time as the appeal provided for in accordance with the provisions of Section 3781.19 of the Ohio Revised Code and all appeals from such hearing have been completed, or the order has been released.
