(A) In addition to the foregoing remedies for the abatement of nuisances hereunder, the Planning Commission may, after notice and hearing as prescribed under § 93.03, levy a fine against the owner and/or occupant of the property after a finding of violations of this subchapter in an amount based on current state-approved amounts and/or as set by City Council from time to time. Each day the nuisance continues to exist after the ten-day notice is sent constitutes a new violation of this chapter; however, additional ten-day notices shall not be required to levy a fine or penalty for each and every subsequent day as set forth herein. Alternatively, the Planning Commission may defer fact finding and the imposition of fines to a City Court, and thereby direct the Building Commissioner and/or City Attorney of the Municipal Corporation to file legal action in said Court for violations of this subchapter in the name of the Planning Commission against the owner and/or occupant of the property.
(B) The Planning Commission is authorized to impose fines and penalties within the limits of I.C. 36-1-3-8(a)(10) for the violation of this subchapter and to conduct any and all administrative proceedings as may be appropriate thereunder.
