(1) All orders issued by the City Engineer or the Building Official pursuant to the provisions of this chapter;
(2) All conditions imposed on grading permits pursuant to the provisions of this chapter; and
(3) All rules and regulations of the office of the City Engineer with respect to grading which were in effect at the time the grading permit was issued.
(b) Penalties. Any person, firm, or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed guilty of a violation of this Code pursuant to Section 1-2.01 of Chapter 2 of Title 1 of this Code, and each such person shall be deemed guilty of a separate offense for each and every day, or portion thereof, during which any violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is committed, continued, or permitted.
(c) Letters of noncompliance. Whenever any construction or work is being done contrary to the provisions of this chapter or any other law, the City Engineer or his duly authorized representative may issue a letter of noncompliance. The letter of noncompliance shall be issued to the developer, the civil engineer, and the contractor immediately on that portion of the work on which the noncompliance has occurred. If the portion of the work on which the noncompliance has occurred is not remedied, a stop work order shall be issued; or if the portion of the work on which the noncompliance has occurred is corrected, a letter shall be issued stating that the noncompliance has been rectified, and such letter shall be distributed to the developer, the civil engineer, and the contractor.

Whenever any construction or work is being done contrary to the provisions of this chapter or any other law, or public or private property is endangered, the City Engineer may issue a written notice to the responsible party to stop work on that portion of the work on which the violation has occurred or upon which the danger exists. The notice shall state the nature of the violation or the danger, and no work shall be done on that portion until the violation has been rectified and approval obtained from the City Engineer or until, as a condition for the continuance of the work, special precautions to eliminate the hazards have been approved by the City Engineer.
