Read the official text at honolulu.gov ↗The chief engineer can go to court to make someone follow an order about building or land problems.

The ordinance, as written (Honolulu County) — Judicial enforcement of order
A copy, taken August 22, 2026. The version published by Honolulu is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The chief engineer may institute a civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of any order issued pursuant to §§ 40-2.12 , 40-2.13 , and 40-2.14 . Where the civil action has been instituted to enforce the civil fine imposed by the order, the chief engineer need only show that notice of violation and order was served, a hearing was held or the time granted for requesting a hearing had expired without such a request, the civil fine imposed and that the fine imposed has not been paid.
