CADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT
this code shall be punishable by a fine of not more than one thousand
dollars ($1,000) or by imprisonment for not more than one (1) year, or
both,for each violation. Each day during which any portion of a violation
continues shall constitute a separate offense.
121.5 Abatement of violation: The imposition of the penalties herein
prescribed shall not preclude the building official from instituting ap-
propriate action to prevent unlawful construction or to restrain,correct or
abate a violation, or to prevent illegal occupancy of a building, structure
or premises or to stop an illegal act, conduct, business or use of a building
or structure in or about any premises.
SECTION 122.0 STOP-WORK ORDER
122.1 Notice to owner: Upon notice from the building official that
any work is being prosecuted contrary to the proxisions of this code or in
an unsafe or dangerous manner, such work shall be immediately stopped.
C The stop-work order shall be in writing and shall be served on the owner
or on the person doing the work, and shall state the conditions under
which work may be resumed; provided, however, that in instances where
immediate action is deemed necessary for public safety or in the public
interest, the building official may require that work be stopped upon
verbal order, provided that said verbal order be confirmed in writing
within forty-eight (48) hours.
122.1.1 Posting: A stop-work notice shall be posted in a conspicuous -
place on the job site and can only be removed by the building official.
C 122.2 Unlawful continuance; Anyone who shall continue any work in
or about the job site after having been served with a stop-work order,
except such work as he is directed by the building official to perform to
remove a violation of unsafe conditions, shall be liable to prosecution as
provided in Section 121.0.
SECTION 123.0 UNSAFE STRUCTURES
123.1 Inspection: The building official immediately upon being in-
formed by report or otherwise that a building or other structure or any-
thing attached thereto or connected therewith is dangerous to life or
limb or that any building in that city or town is unused, uninhabited or
abandoned, and open to the weather, shall inspect the same; and he shall
forthwith in writing notify the owner to remove it or make it safe if it
appears to him to be dangerous, or to make it secure if it is unused, on-
inhabited or abandoned and open to the weather. If it appears that such
structure would be especially unsafe in case of fire, it shall be deemed
dangerous within the meaning hereof, and the building official may affix
in a conspicuous place upon its exterior walls a notice of its dangerous
` 21
_r
MASSACHUSETTS STATE BUILDING CODE _
condition, which shall not be removed or defaced without authority from
him.
123.2 Removal or making structure safe: Any person so notified shall
be allowed until twelve o'clock noon of the day following the service of
the notice in which to begin to remove such building or structure or
make it safe, or to make it secure, and be shall employ sufficient labor
speedily to make it safe or remove it or to make it secure; but if the public
safety so requires and if the mayor or selectmen so order, the building
official may immediately enter upon the premises with the necessary
workmen and assistants and cause such unsafe structure to be made safe
or demolished without delay and a proper fence put up for the protection
of passers-by, or to be made secure.
SECTION 124.0 EMERGENCY MEASURES
124.1 Failure to remove or make structure safe, survey board, survey
report: If an owner of such unsafe structure refuses or neglects to
comply with the requirements of such notice within the specified time
limit, and such structure is not made safe or taken down as ordered there-
in, a careful survey of the premises shall be made by a board consisting;
in a city, of a city engineer, the head of the fire department, as such term
is defined in Section 1 of Chapter 148 of the Massachusetts General Laws
Annotated, as amended, and one disinterested person to be appointed by
the building official; and, in a town, of a surveyor, the head of the fire
department and one disinterested person to be appointed by the building
official. In the absence of any of the above officers or individuals, the
mayor or selectmen shall designate one or more officers or other suitable
persons in place of the officers so named as members of said board. A
written report of such survey shall be made, and a copy- thereof served
on such owner.
124.2 Removal of dangerous or abandoned structures: If such survey
report as outlined in Section 124.1 declares such structure to be dangerous
or to be unused, uninhabited or abandoned, and open to the weather, and
if the owner continues such refusal or neglect, the building official shall
cause it to be made safe or taken down or to be made secure; and, if the
public safety so requires, said building official may at once enter the
structure, the land on which it stands or the abutting land or buildings,
with such assistance as he may require, and secure the same; and may
remove and evict, under the pertinent provisions of Chapter 239 of the
Massachusetts General Laws Annotated as amended, or otherwise, any
tenant or occupant thereof; and may erect such protection for the public
by proper fence or otherwise as may be necessary, and for this purpose
may close a public highway. In the case of such demolition, the said
l --- building official shall cause such lot to be levelled to conform with ad-
jacent grades by a non-organic fill. The costs and charges incurred shall (/

ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT
constitute a lien upon the land upon which the structure is located, and
shall be enforced in an action of contract; and such owner shall, for every
day's continuance of such refusal or neglect after being so notified, be
punished by a fine in accordance with Section 121.4. The provisions of
the second paragraph of Section 3A of Chapter 139 of the Massachusetts
General Laws Annotated as amended, relative to liens for such debt and
the collection of claims for such debt, shall apply to any debt referred
to in this section, except that the said building official shall act here-
under in place of the mayor or board of selectmen. During the time such
order is in effect, it shall be unlawful to use or occupy such structure or
any portion thereof for any purpose.
124.3 Remedy of person ordered to remove a dangerous structure or
make it safe: An owner, aggrieved by such order may have the
remedy prescribed by Section 2 of Chapter 139 of the Massachusetts
General Laws Annotated as amended; provided that any provision of said
Section 2 shall not be construed so as to hinder, delay or prevent the
building official from acting and proceeding under Section 124.2; and
\_ provided,further, that this section shall not prevent the city or town from
recovering the forfeiture provided in said Section 124.2 from the date of
the service of the original notice, unless the order is annulled by the jury.
