Mountain View Municipal Code Art. V Violations

No person shall cause any structure or land to be constructed, located, extended, converted or altered without full compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and other applicable regulations. Any development in any flood hazard area that is performed without a permit issued under this Chapter or that is in conflict with an issued permit shall be deemed a violation of this Chapter. A building or structure without the documentation of the elevation of the lowest floor, other required design certifications or other evidence of compliance required by this Chapter or the building code is presumed to be a violation until such time as required documentation is submitted. Violation of a requirement of this Chapter (including violations of conditions of any permit or stop work notice) shall constitute a misdemeanor. Nothing herein shall prevent the City of Mountain View from taking any lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation, including, but not limited to, the authorized actions in this Chapter and Chapter 1, Article II (Administrative Penalties) of the City of Mountain View Code of Ordinances.

(Ord. No. 6.2025, § 2, 9/9/25.)

The floodplain administrator is authorized to serve notices of violation or stop work orders to owners of property involved, to the owner's agent or to the person or persons doing the work for development that is not within the scope of the building codes but is regulated by this Chapter and that is determined to be a violation.

(Ord. No. 6.2025, § 2, 9/9/25.)

Any person who continues any work after having been served with a notice of violation or a stop work order, except such work as the notice or order directs to perform to remove or remedy a violation or unsafe condition, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed in Sec. 1.7 of the Mountain View City Code.
