The City Administrator or the City Administrator’s authorized designee shall be the Municipal Official who shall have the duty of enforcing all building and housing regulations as herein prescribed. All references to a “Building Inspector” in this Chapter of the Municipal Code shall mean the City Administrator or the City Administrator’s authorized designee, as the case may be. The Building Inspector shall inspect all buildings repaired, altered, built, or moved in the Municipality as often as necessary to insure compliance with all Municipal ordinances. The Building Inspector shall have the power and authority to order all work stopped on any construction, alteration, or relocation which violates any provisions prescribed herein including zoning and subdivision regulations of the Municipality. The Building Inspector shall issue permission to continue any construction, alteration, or relocation when he is satisfied that no provision will be violated. If the stop order is an oral one, it shall be followed by a written stop order within twenty-four (24) hours. Such written order may be served by any Municipal Policeman or by the Building Inspector, by personally delivering a copy to the property owner, or by leaving a copy at the property owners usual place of residence.
Upon receipt of an oral stop order, the property owner in question shall cause all work to cease upon the construction, alteration, or relocation in question; and if the oral stop order is followed by a written stop order within twenty-four (24) hours, no further work shall occur until disposition of an appeal under Section 9-102 of the Municipal Code. (Amended by Ord. Nos. 314, 5/8/78; 988, 8/8/23)
