Metropolitan Code of Nashville and Davidson County § 15.64.225
in effect15.64.225 - [Enforcement of county-wide emergency health orders.]
Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, it is a condition of any permit or work authorization issued pursuant to the authority granted herein, including those issued prior to the effective date hereof, that the permittee and its employees abide by applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, including without limitation those emergency orders issued by the chief medical director in connection with a declared state of emergency in all or part of Davidson County. Employees of a department that has authorized work or issued a permit pursuant to this title may order the cessation of work or specific activities, or the suspension of a permit, on any work site operating under such permit, for a violation of an emergency order.
Notice of the stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property or to his agent or to the person in charge of the work or overseeing the operation. When, in the opinion of the director of the department that authorized work or issued a permit, or the director's agent, that an emergency exists, a written stop work order shall not be required, and in such instances, oral notice to the owner, his agent or the person in charge of the work shall have the same force and effect as a written order. Any violation of the stop work order shall be assessed as a civil penalty at the rate of fifty dollars per day. In addition, where a violation exists, the director of the department or the director's agent may request that utility service be curtailed until the violation is corrected or abated. Appeals from the stop work order may be made to the relevant board or commission that oversees the authorization of the work or issuance of the permit.
