Once a stop work order is issued on your construction or remodel project, the only way forward is to bring your site into compliance — and then pass a reinspection. The reinspection process is your green light to resume work, but it doesn’t happen automatically. You’ll need to take the right steps, fix the right issues, and submit the right documents to avoid further delays.
At Permit TODAY, we help clients navigate reinspections with confidence — and speed.
Steps to Get a Stop Work Order Cleared and Reinspected
1. Fix the Root Problem
You must address whatever triggered the stop order. This could include:
- Pulling the correct permits
- Hiring licensed professionals
- Updating your project plans
- Reversing or correcting unapproved work
- Removing safety hazards or site violations
2. Gather All Required Documentation
Have your updated permits, plans, and compliance documents ready. This shows the inspector that you’ve taken the proper steps to fix the issue.
3. Schedule the Reinspection
Contact Denver’s building department to formally request a reinspection. This usually happens through your contractor or through the city’s online permitting portal.
4. Be Ready for the Visit
Make sure the site is accessible, safe, and compliant. Remove debris or hazards that could affect the inspection outcome. Post your permits clearly at the job site.
5. Be Present (Or Have a Representative On Site)
An experienced permit professional (like us) can be there to answer questions and walk the inspector through the changes that were made.
