	Dear STEPHENS CLARK B ,
	                                                              STOP WORK ORDER
	
	An evaluation of the above-referenced property on                     revealed that building 	12/04/200
	construction was being conducted  without benefit of a valid building permit as required  by 
	Section 105.1 of the 2003 International Building Code and the  2003 International 
	Residential Code of the City of Portland. 
	
	Appropriate permitting has not been issued for the property listed above, therefore all 
	construction activity at that property must STOP immediately. This is a STOP WORK 
	ORDER pursuant to Section 114. of  2003 International Building Code and the 2003 
	International Residential Code of the City of Portland. 
	
	You may resume construction activity only after issuance of the appropriate building permit 
	and the subsequent lifting of this order. Building Permit Applications are available in this 
	office, Room 315 at Portland City Hall, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays except 
	holidays.
	
	Failure to comply will result in this office referring the matter to the City of Portland 
	Corporation Counsel for legal action and possible civil penalties, as provided for in Section 
	1-15 of the Code and in Title 30-A of M.R.S.A. Section 4452. This constitutes an 
	appealable decision pursuant to Section112 of the City of Portland Building Code.
	
	If you wish to discuss this matter, or you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

	Sincerely,
