§ 52.230. Action upon noncompliance.

(a) In the event work does not conform to the permit or to the plans and specifications or to any instructions of the issuing authority, notice to comply shall be given to the permittee in writing. After a notice to comply is given, in the determination of the issuing authority, the permittee or his/her contractor shall be required to make the corrections within the time period determined by the issuing authority. If an imminent hazard exists, the issuing authority may require that the corrective work begin immediately.

(b)

If the issuing authority finds any existing conditions not as stated in the application or approved plans, he/she may stop the work on the entire project or any specified part thereof until a revised plan is submitted conforming to the currently existing conditions.

(c)

Failure of the permittee to comply with the directives of this section will constitute a violation pursuant to section 52.290, and will be considered a nuisance pursuant to Laws of Minnesota for 1994, Chapter 587, Article 9, Section 4, and the issuing authority may cancel the permit and proceed with the necessary restoration of the site at the expense of the owner. The owner will be billed for the expenses incurred by the issuing authority. Failure to pay will result in the issuing authority seeking recovery of costs and damages pursuant to the conditions set forth in section 52.290. (96-Or-042, § 1, 5-10-96)
