A stop work was issued to a friend of mine. He was adding onto his house closing a patio adding roof pitch and another patio. The inspector checking another job saw his wall and saw construction happening. He stopped by no permit job was shut down took him 4 months to get it up and going again. Filling plans showing all work that was done made him show prof of license contractors. Then a new drawing per specs. Cost him a lot more than doing the right thing first. Tried to beat te system. He got pissy with the permit folks they left it on there desk several weeks because they could. Not sure if any fines were issued. Good luck with it.
