Citing Misrepresentations, Building Officials Issue Stop-Work Order on Beval Saddlery Renovation

New Canaan building officials have issued a stop-work order on interior renovations to a Pine Street business after the property’s owner told them the project hadn’t been authorized and that misrepresentations had been made on a permit application for the work. It isn’t clear how far along Beval Saddlery is with an estimated $150,000 renovation at its 50 Pine St. location. Work must now stop, following a letter sent last week from Chief Building Official Brian Platz of the New Canaan Building Department to Mark Walter, owner of Beval Saddlery. “At the owner’s request I will reinstate and validate the now void permit with or without modifications, or I will order the building restored to its condition prior to the issuance of this permit,” Platz said in the letter, dated Oct.
