🚧 Stop Work Orders, Solved: Corrective Jobs, Permits & Code Inspections
A Stop Work Order (SWO) is one of the most serious enforcement actions issued by a building department.
It immediately halts all construction or alteration activity — often due to unpermitted work, unsafe conditions, or administrative violations.
Our team specializes in coordinating everything needed to lift the Stop Work Order and bring your project back into compliance.
🚨 Why Stop Work Orders Are Issued
- Unpermitted construction or renovation work
- Expired permits or missing inspections
- Unsafe structural or electrical conditions
- Work performed outside the approved scope
- Failure to maintain required site safety measures
🧰 How We Help
- Review the Stop Work Order and related violations
- Prepare and file a corrective job to legalize or repair all unapproved work
- Coordinate with licensed architects, engineers, and contractors to prepare compliant drawings
- File for new or amended permits to resume construction
- Manage communication with the building department to schedule all necessary re-inspections
If your existing architect, engineer, or contractor is no longer available or unwilling to continue,
we can fully take over the project — substituting the prior professionals and becoming the new point of contact for compliance and permit coordination.
🏗️ Cooperation With Existing Team
If your current design and construction team is willing to cooperate, and if a valid permit already exists,
we work with them to lift the Stop Work Order quickly through documentation, inspections, and direct coordination with the enforcement officer.
👷♂️ Pre-Inspection & Clearance
Lifting a Stop Work Order often requires a pre-inspection by the Code Compliance Officer who issued the order — or another qualified officer from the department’s Code Enforcement Division.
This inspection confirms that all unsafe or hazardous conditions have been corrected and the site is safe for continued work.
- We schedule and attend all required pre-inspections
- Submit photo evidence and compliance reports
- Prepare documentation for official release and reopening of the job site
🕐 Why Act Now
Leaving a Stop Work Order unresolved can trigger escalating fines, contractor penalties, and even lien filings.
Acting promptly prevents further violations and allows your project to resume under approved and safe conditions.
