(A) Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of this subchapter or whenever satisfactory progress is not being made in correcting work ordered by the Director of the city’s Enforcement Authority or his or her duly authorized representative, said Director or his or her duly authorized representative may order the work stopped on that portion deemed to be in violation, or on the entire project, by posting a stop work card on the job site. Whenever work has been stopped on a job site, the city’s Enforcement Authority shall attempt to notify in writing the owner, the contractor and any persons engaged in doing or causing such work to be done. Such written notice may be served in person or served by first class U.S. mail. The stop work card shall specify in writing that portion of the work in violation and to be stopped. It shall be the owner’s responsibility to ensure that the stop work order is complied with. The owner, the contractor and any person, firm or corporation who shall continue or permit to be continued any work on a stopped project, or portion thereof, other than corrective work, shall be in violation of this subchapter and shall be fined in the amount of $100. The owner, the contractor and the person, firm or corporation shall be notified in writing of such violation and fine. The written citation and notice of violation shall be delivered by certified mail, return receipt requested or by delivery in person. Each act of violation and every day, or portion thereof, upon which a violation occurs shall be considered a separate offense. All fines shall be payable in the office of the City Clerk of the city or in the proper court of jurisdiction.
(B) The citation and notice of fine shall be in writing and in a form approved by the Board of Public Works and Safety. The citation and notice of fine shall include a statement of the nature of the violation, location of the City Clerk’s office, identification of the violator and identification of the issuing official. Failure to remit the fine within ten days shall result in issue of summons for said violation in the proper court of jurisdiction.
