Our Proven Process for Lifting Stop Work Orders
When you contact us, we take immediate action to assess the situation and build a customized recovery plan:
1. Full Assessment of the Violation
- We review the stop work order documentation
- Evaluate the original permit (if one exists)
- Determine what triggered the violation and what’s needed to fix it
2. Corrective Plan Development
- Identify missing permits, unlicensed work, or code violations
- Coordinate with your contractor or refer you to a trusted pro
- Develop a step-by-step action plan to bring your job into compliance
3. City Communication and Escalation
- We speak directly with the inspector who issued the stop order
- Submit necessary documents, drawings, or revisions
- Negotiate next steps and set the path for reinspection
4. Fast Turnaround to Reopen Your Project
