What can happen when code violations are not addressed?

The building may receive awards
A stopped work notice may be issued
The property may increase in value
No actions are required

The correct answer is: A stopped work notice may be issued

When code violations are not addressed, local governing bodies or code enforcement agencies often respond by issuing a stopped work notice. This action is a formal way to halt construction or renovation activities until the violations are resolved. A stopped work notice serves to protect public safety and ensure compliance with building codes and regulations, thus preventing further unauthorized or unsafe work from continuing. Failure to address code violations can also lead to additional consequences, such as fines, legal action, or the need for costly repairs to bring the property back into compliance. It's essential for property owners and contractors to address any code violations promptly to avoid such actions and ensure the safety and legality of their construction projects.
