No permit in the neighborhood

A house I can see from our deck was nicely cleaned just a few weeks ago. They removed some trees and in general took care of the lot. The house now really looks good and is "visible" compared to before. They have also done some heavy work in removing all siding, interior walls, building a new porch, and other work.

But, the other day I noticed that there was no more activity. Thought I even saw a red note, but it is too far away to be sure. So when walking the dogs, we stopped by to take closer look. And, sure enough, the site has been "red-tagged" and a "work stoppage" order had been issued. The order indicated "no approved permit, no approved plans". Sort of daring to go that far w/o ANY paper work - in such a visible location.

In any case, they tried to cut corners by bypassing all the needed and boring papers work, but are dearly paying for that now.
