The City shall also have the following remedies and enforcement powers:
A. Withhold Permit.
1. Uncorrected violation or condition or qualification of a permit, approval, certificate, or other authorization. The City may deny or withhold any and all permits, approvals, certificates, or other forms of authorization from an applicant on any land or structure or improvements when there is an uncorrected violation of a provision of this Ordinance or of a condition or qualification of a permit, approval, certificate, or other authorization previously granted by the City. This enforcement provision shall apply regardless of whether the current owner or applicant is responsible for the violation in question.
2. Persons who own, develop or otherwise cause an unauthorized violation. The City may deny or withhold all permits, approvals, certificates or other forms of authorization on any land or structure or improvements owned or being developed by a person who owns, developed, or otherwise caused an uncorrected violation of a provision of this Ordinance or of a condition or qualification of a permit, approval, certificate, or other authorization previously granted by the City. This provision shall apply regardless of whether the property for which the permit or other approval is sought is the property in violation.
B. Permits Approved with Conditions. In addition to withholding or denying a permit or other authorization, the City may grant such permit or other authorization subject to the condition that the violation be corrected.
C. Revoke Permits. Any development permit or other form of authorization required under this Ordinance may be revoked pursuant to
§ 10.6: Revocation, when the City determines that (1) there is departure from the plans, specifications, or conditions as required under terms of the permit; (2) that the development permit was procured by false representation or was issued in error; or (3) that any of the provisions of this Ordinance are being violated. Any permit or other authorization revoked under this procedure shall become null and void.
D. Stop Work. With or without revoking permits, the City may stop work on any building or structure on any land on which there is an uncorrected violation of a provision of this Ordinance or of a permit or other form of authorization issued, in accordance with its power to stop work under this Ordinance and the City building codes.
E. Injunctive Relief. The City may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in court to stop any violation of this Ordinance or of a permit, approval, certificate or other form of authorization granted by this chapter.
F. Abatement. The City may seek a court order in the nature of mandamus, abatement, injunction or other action or proceeding to abate or remove a violation or to otherwise restore the premises in question to the condition in which they existed prior to the violation.
G. Other Remedies. The City shall have such other remedies as are and as may be from time to time provided by Michigan law for the violation of zoning, sign or related Ordinance provisions.
H. Other Powers. In addition to the enforcement powers specified in this chapter, the City may exercise any and all enforcement powers granted by Michigan law.
I. Continuation. Nothing in this Ordinance shall prohibit the continuation of previous enforcement actions undertaken by any officer of the City pursuant to previous and valid ordinances and laws.
