a. Violations. Any development that is not within the scope of the Florida Building Code but that is regulated by this Division that is performed without an issued permit, that is in conflict with an issued permit, or that does not fully comply with this Division, shall be deemed a violation of this Division. A building or structure without the documentation of elevation of the lowest floor, other required design certifications, or other evidence of compliance required by this Division or the Florida Building Code is presumed to be a violation until such time as that documentation is provided.
b. Authority. For development that is not within the scope of the Florida Building Code but that is regulated by this Division and that is determined to be a violation, the Floodplain Administrator is authorized to serve notices of violation or stop work orders to owners of the property involved, to the owner’s agent, or to the person or persons performing the work.
c. Unlawful continuance. Any person who shall continue any work after having been served with a notice of violation or a stop work order, except such work as that person is directed to perform to remove or remedy a violation or unsafe condition, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by law.
