CHAPTER 1
|
SCOPE AND ADMINISTRATION
|
101.1 Title. These regulations shall be known as
the "Town of Denton Mechanical Code."
|
108.4 Violation penalties. It shall be considered
a municipal infraction for any owner or property to violate the Mechanical
Code. Any person who shall fail to comply with any of the requirements
of the Mechanical Code or shall erect, install, alter or repair the
mechanical work in violation of the approved construction documents
or directive of the Code Official, or of a permit or certificate issued
under the provisions of this code, shall be found to have committed
a municipal infraction, subject to a fine in accordance with the Department
of Planning and Codes Penalty Schedule. Each day that a violation
continues after due notice has been served shall be deemed a separate
offense. In addition to said fine, the Town may request during the
adjudication of the infraction that the defendant abate the violation
or, in the alternative, to permit the Town to abate the violation
at the defendant's expense. Enforcement of this section shall be in
accordance with Article 23A, § 3(b), of the Maryland Annotated
Code, as amended from time to time.
|
108.5 Stop-work orders. Upon notice from the Code
Official that mechanical work is being done contrary to the provisions
of this code or in a dangerous or unsafe manner, such work shall immediately
cease. Such notice shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner
of the property, to the owner's agent, or to the person doing the
work. The notice shall state the conditions under which work is authorized
to resume. Where an emergency exists, the Code Official shall not
be required to give a written notice prior to stopping the work. Any
person who shall continue any work on the system after having been
served with a stop-work order, except such work as that person is
directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall
be liable for a fine of not less than $500.
|

MEANS OF APPEAL

109.1 Application for appeal. Any person affected
by a decision of the Code Official or a notice or order issued under
this code shall have the right to appeal to the Board of Appeals,
provided that a written application for appeal is filed within 20
days after the day the decision, notice, or order was served. An application
for appeal shall be based on a claim that the true intent of this
code or the rules legally adopted thereunder have been incorrectly
interpreted, the provisions of this code do not fully apply, or the
requirements of this code are adequately satisfied by other means.
