No new permits shall be issued to a contractor where the contractor has any outstanding written violation notices which have not been corrected or appealed to the appropriate board created in TMC 5.63.120. A contractor shall have 10 days to appeal a violation notice. In the event of an appeal, action by the Development Services Division shall be stayed pending the outcome of the Board’s decision. If a commercial or multifamily building is occupied while there are outstanding violations against the premises, the Development Services Division may cause the discontinuance of utility services thereto.
