Whenever any work is being done or any activity is occurring which constitutes a “violation” under ACC 1.25.020(G), the code enforcement official may order the work or activity stopped by notice in writing served on any persons engaged in the doing or causing of such work to be done or such activity to occur, and any such persons shall forthwith stop such work and/or prevent such activity until authorized by the code enforcement official or designee to proceed with the work or recommence the activity. The issuance of a stop work order is not a prerequisite for the issuance of a notice of infraction or a citation for a violation. However, it shall be a misdemeanor punishable as provided in ACC 1.24.010 for a person to willfully engage in the doing or causing of such work to be done after the issuance of a stop work order, until authorized by the code enforcement official or designee to proceed with the work or recommence the activity. (Ord. 6857 § 2 (Exh. B), 2022; Ord. 5966 § 6, 2006.)
