<br />1. Upon issuance of a stop work order, the work cited shall immediately cease. <br />2. Work, related or unrelated to the cited work, shall not resume unless specifically <br />authorized in advance by the Code Enforcement Officer. <br />3. Any violation of the stop work order is hereby declared to be a nuisance and the Code <br />Enforcement Officer is authorized to enjoin or abate such nuisance by any legal or <br />equitable means available. The costs for the injunction or abatement, shall be recovered <br />by the city from the person responsible for the code violation in the manner provided by <br />law. <br />4. Failure to comply with the terms of a stop work order subjects the person responsible for <br />the code violation to civil penalties and costs as set forth in this chapter. <br />F. Remedy. Any person who shall continue any work in or about the structure or property after <br />having been served with a stop work order, except such work as that person is directed to perform <br />to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed herein. <br />Violation of a stop work order shall be a separate violation from any other code violation. <br />G. Appeal. A stop work order may be appealed according to the procedures prescribed by this <br />chapter. Failure to appeal the stop work order within the applicable time limits renders the stop <br />work order a final determination that the code violation occurred, and that work was properly <br />ordered to cease. <br />H. Removal of a Stop Work Order. When a stop work order has been posted in conformity with the <br />requirements of this chapter, removal of such order without the authorization of the city, or the <br />hearing examiner if the matter has been heard by the hearing examiner, is unlawful and a <br />separate violation of the municipal code. A penalty for removal, defacing, or destruction of a stop <br />work order may be assessed in the amount specified herein. <br />1.20.160 Extension of Compliance Time. <br />The Code Enforcement Officer may grant an extension of the time limit for compliance if the Code <br />Enforcement Officer deems the person responsible has shown due diligence and/or substantial progress <br />in correcting the violation but circumstances render full and timely compliance under the original <br />conditions unattainable. Such request shall be made in writing prior to the stated time limit for compliance <br />and clearly establish the need for the extension. Such grant of an extension for time does not create a <br />new appeal period for the underlying enforcement action. <br />1.20.170 Additional Remedies. <br />A. Suspension, revocation, or limitation of permit. <br />1. In accordance with applicable law, the city may suspend, revoke, or modify any permit <br />issued by the city whenever: <br />a. The permit holder has committed a violation in the course of performing activities <br />subject to that permit;
