If you received a Stop Work Notice and have questions, please contact Bridgit Baker at 425-398-8900 ext. 6185 or bbaker@kenmorewa.gov.

Per Kenmore Municipal Code (KMC) 1.20.090, a stop work order may be issued pursuant to any of the codes or regulations adopted pursuant to KMC Titles 12, 13, 15 and 18. In addition, the code enforcement officer may issue a stop work order whenever any work that is subject to regulation under the Kenmore Municipal Code is, in the opinion of the code enforcement officer, being performed in a manner contrary to the provisions of the Kenmore Municipal Code, or will exacerbate damage that has already been caused to any property, or will materially impair the code enforcement officer’s ability to seek compliance.

The failure to stop work or the resumption of work without permission from the City is punishable by a fine of $500.00 per day.  Any person who removes, mutilates, or conceals a Stop Work Order posted by the City shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
