Fayette Stop-Work Order ordinance (§ 415.440)

Whenever the FHPC has reason to believe that an action for which a certificate of appropriateness is required has been initiated or is about to be initiated or that a violation of the conditions of a permit has occurred, it shall request that the City Administrator make every reasonable effort to contact the owners, occupants, contractor or subcontractor and inform them of proper procedures. If the FHPC determines that a stop work order is necessary to halt an action, it shall request the City Administrator to send a copy of the stop work order by certified mail return receipt requested to the owners, occupants, contractors and subcontractors and notify them of the process of applying for a certificate of appropriateness. A copy of the proper application form shall be included in the notice. If necessary, a second or subsequent stop work order may be issued for the same project.
