A violation or stop-work order may be served on the owner or operating
agent personally, or by delivering to and leaving a copy thereof with a person
on the premises of reasonable age and mailing a copy thereof to the person
named in the order at his last known place of residence, or by posting a copy
in a conspicuous place on the premises and mailing a copy thereof addressed
to the owner or operating agent at his last known place of residence.
Upon the issuance of a stop-work order, the owner of the affected property,
the permit holder and any other person performing, taking part in or assisting
in the work shall immediately cease all work which is the subject of the stop-work
order. The issuance of a stop-work order shall not be the exclusive remedy
available and the authority to issue a stop-work order shall be in addition
to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, the right and authority
to pursue any other remedy or impose any other penalty under this Code or
any other applicable law. Any such other remedy or penalty may be pursued
at any time, whether prior to, at the time of, or after the issuance of a
stop-work order.
