City enforces stop-work order after unpermitted bathrooms built in office
Summary
Uintah City issued a stop-work order at a property where bathrooms were installed in an office without permits; staff will conduct weekly checks and discussed doubling permit fees for violations and requiring review of any ground-disturbing activity.
City staff reported an ongoing building-code enforcement case in which a property owner installed bathrooms in an office without obtaining required permits. The city issued a stop-work order and staff is conducting weekly inspections to ensure compliance.
Officials discussed increasing penalties for violations, including a proposal to double permit fees for noncompliant work. Staff also considered a policy requiring review of all building activities — summarized in the meeting as "if a shovel goes in the ground" — and emphasized coordination between the building official and the fire marshal to address safety and liability concerns.
