How this type of condition is typically resolved
An active Stop Work Order has to be treated separately from the underlying summons. The cited unsafe or unpermitted condition must be corrected or legalized, required permits/penalties addressed, and the issuing agency must formally rescind or modify the order before prohibited work resumes.
Hearing issues to verify
- What exact work was covered by the Stop Work Order: all work or only part of the project?
- Was the activity observed after the order actually prohibited work, or was it authorized safety / emergency / corrective work?
- Was the Stop Work Order already rescinded or modified before the activity alleged in the summons?
Evidence that may matter
- Copy of the Stop Work Order and any rescission/modification notice
- DOB permit records and inspector correspondence
- Daily logs, photographs and contractor records showing when work stopped or resumed
- Evidence identifying any limited corrective/safety work performed
