What is the maximum allowable duration for a stop work order issued by the City?

The maximum allowable duration for a stop work order issued by the City is 30 days. A stop work order is a crucial tool that authorities use to halt construction activities when there are violations of regulations, safety concerns, or other compliance issues. The 30-day period provides sufficient time for the City to assess the situation and determine the necessary actions, while also ensuring that it does not unduly delay construction projects. This timeframe balances the need for immediate response to issues with the operational realities of construction. After 30 days, if further action is needed, the situation must be reevaluated, which helps to keep the process manageable and minimizes long-standing disruptions to construction activities. Thus, selecting 30 days accurately reflects the maximum length these orders can be enforced within the framework established by the City.
