(A) Any person violating any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99 of this code of ordinances.
(B) (1) Any property owner or occupant or person in possession of any property who fails to comply with any order of the Town Manager or the Town Manager’s designee to remove, abate, or remedy any public nuisances covered by §§ 92.01 through 92.11, within the time specified in the order, shall be subject to a civil penalty in the amount of $200 per day after the seventh day of non-compliance (following the specified time period for compliance) until the property is brought into compliance with the order. The civil penalty may be recovered by the town in a civil action in the nature of a debt if the person who has been assessed the civil penalty does not pay the same within 30 days after the civil penalty first became due and payable. Penalties assessed for continuing violations constituting a separate and distinct offense may be aggregated and collected in one action.
(3) Sections 92.01 through 92.11 may be enforced by an appropriate equitable remedy issuing from a court of competent jurisdiction as set out in G.S. § 160A-175. The town may apply to the appropriate division of the General Court of Justice for a mandatory or prohibitory injunction and order of abatement commanding the defendant to correct the unlawful condition upon, or cease the unlawful use of, the property.
(4) Each day’s continuing violation shall be a separate and distinct offense.
