4.505 Enforcement

  1. All work performed pursuant to a certificate of appropriateness shall conform to any requirements included herein. It shall be the duty of the historic preservation officer periodically to inspect any such work to assure compliance. If work is found that is not performed in accordance with the certificate of appropriateness, or upon notification of such fact by the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission and verification by the building official, the building official shall issue a stop-work order and all work shall immediately cease. No further work shall be undertaken on a project while a stop-work order is in effect, except at the discretion of the building official where work is deemed to not require a certificate of appropriateness or other review as provided by this chapter.
  2. Upon receipt of a stop work order by the building official, a property owner shall file an application for all necessary certificates of appropriateness within 10 business days for review at the next regular hearing of the Historic and Cultural Landmarks Commission.
  3. Where an owner fails to submit an application for review within the required time period, a second citation shall be issued and all civil remedies available to the city shall be pursued, including the issuance of a separate citation each day the violation persists.
