P.R. Laws tit. 23, § 9020k
The Office of the Chief Permit Inspector is hereby authorized to issue an order to the corresponding public utility service agencies to require the suspension of their services to any property or structure which violates the provisions of this chapter or of any regulations or laws which regulate construction and use of buildings and properties in Puerto Rico within a term and through the mechanisms established by regulations. The order of the Office of the Chief Permit Inspector shall be reviewable by the Court of First Instance through the procedure set forth in the Joint Regulation. The public corporation, government body or private entity engaged in rendering utility services shall reconnect the suspended service after such party shows, by means of a written communication issued by the Office of the Chief Permit Inspector, that it has stopped the unauthorized use or has reverted to the use for which the permit was intended or has legalized the use of the property, building or structure. The Management Office shall give the highest priority to the evaluation and processing of applications intended in obtaining the necessary certification for having reconnected the above mentioned utility services, which certification shall be issued in or before two (2) days.
