In addition to the remedies otherwise provided, the following
specific remedies shall also be available.
A. The Building Official may issue a stop-work order, prohibiting that
any additional work be completed until any violations are remedied.
A fee to remove any stop-work order shall be set forth in the fee
schedule adopted pursuant to this article.
B. Where any establishment exceeds the posted occupant limit, the Building
Official, the Fire Chief, and/or their designees, may order any performance,
presentation, spectacle, or entertainment to be stopped until the
condition is corrected.
C. Where any violation of any provision of the Code, including failure
to comply with any subdivision or site plan approved by the Planning
Board, or condition imposed by the Zoning Board of Appeals, shall
be found to exist and after the issuance of a notice of violation
by the Building Official, the Building Official shall notify the City
Manager, who may then institute any and all actions and proceedings,
either legal or equitable, including seeking injunctions of violations
and the imposition of fines that may be appropriate or necessary to
enforce the provisions of this chapter in the name of the City. The
City Manager shall inform the City Council before instituting action
in court, but need not obtain the consent of the City Council, and
the City Manager may institute any action for injunctive relief without
first informing the City Council in circumstances where immediate
relief is needed to prevent a serious public harm.

without court action, the City Manager may enter into administrative
consent agreements in the name of the City.
