§ 28-219.1 Department penalty for failure to certify correction.
AC § 28-219.1
In addition to any penalties otherwise authorized by law pursuant to article 202 and the rules of the department, whenever any person fails to submit a certification of correction of an immediately hazardous violation issued with respect to an immediately hazardous condition at a construction site that poses a threat of imminent danger to public safety or property, as required by an order issued pursuant to section 28-204.2, a penalty shall be paid to the department by the owner of the property in the amount of no more than $5,000. No permit or certificate of occupancy shall be issued and no stop work order may be rescinded at the property named in the order until such penalty is paid to the department. Failure to pay such penalty shall not prevent the issuance of a permit for work to be performed pursuant to articles 215 or 216. In addition, even if the immediately hazardous violation is subsequently corrected, no certificate of correction shall be accepted for the violation giving rise to this civil penalty until such penalty has been paid to the department. Exception: Department penalties for failure to certify correction shall not apply to one- to four-family homes. (Am. L.L. 2021/126, 11/7/2021, eff. 11/7/2022; Am.
