35-A M.R.S. §2512: Improper work redone; penalty

If a person improperly repairs or fills an opening, the municipal officers or their appointees may have the work redone properly and shall keep an account of the cost of redoing this work.

A person in default shall pay a penalty equal to the cost of redoing the work plus 50%. After the work is completed and the cost of the work is determined, the municipality may not issue a new permit to a person in default until it has received, in addition to the fees provided in section 2510, the amount of the penalty provided in this section.
