1329.14 ENFORCEMENT AND STOP WORK ORDERS.

   (a)   The City may enforce this Chapter through administrative, civil or criminal actions, as the City deems appropriate, as set forth herein and in Section 1301.08 of this Building Code.

   (b)   Any person convicted for any violation of this Chapter shall be guilty of and subject to the penalties for a first degree misdemeanor. Each day of such violation or failure to comply shall constitute a separate offense.

   (c)   The Commissioner or the Director of Public Works may issue an order that all or any portion of work on a site must not be started or must stop and not continue until the Director of Public Works or Commissioner issuing the order is satisfied that the person is in compliance and will remain in compliance with this Chapter. Either the Commissioner or Director of Public Works may issue an order that the work on a site must be modified or removed and/or redone in order to bring the person and property into compliance with these regulations. Any such notice shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner, agent or person in control or responsible for the site and/or property, or the person performing the work, and shall state the conditions under which such work may be resumed; provided, however, in instances where immediate action is deemed necessary for public safety or the public interest, the Commissioner or the Director of Public Works issuing the order may require that work be stopped upon verbal order pending issuance of the written order.
