A. Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) for each violation. Each day during which a violation continues beyond the specified time for correction shall constitute a separate punishable offense. (Ord. 19-2005, 11-14-2005; amd. 2017 Code)
B. If the city corrects the violation itself or causes the violation to be corrected on its behalf, a lien for the amount of time and expense involved in correcting the violation shall be imposed against the land where the violation occurred. A minimum charge of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each hour, or part of an hour, shall be imposed for any work done by the city, or on behalf of the city, in correcting a violation. This lien shall be recorded with the county recorder of deeds within sixty (60) days after the work is done by the city or on behalf of the city, and suit to collect the cost of the lien shall be filed after the recording of the lien.
C. Where the city itself corrects the violation or causes the violation to be corrected on its behalf, the violator shall be subject to both subsections A and B of this section. (Ord. 19-2005, 11-14-2005)
