   (1)   In addition to any other penalty provided by law, and except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be fined not less than $250.00 nor more than $500.00 for each offense. Each day that such violation continues shall constitute a separate and distinct offense to which a separate fine shall apply.
   (2)   In addition to any other available penalties and remedies provided for in the Code, one or more citations for violation of this chapter on each of three or more separate days within a three month period at the same construction site may result in a stop work order issued by the department that issued the citations, directing that all activity cease for 10 days. Any further citation for violation at the same construction site within six months after the initial stop work order may result in the issuance of another 10 day stop work order. The department that issued the 10 day stop work order under this section shall lift that order only if sufficient evidence of compliance with this chapter is provided to the department. As used in this section, the term "construction site" means any or all portion of the real property that is identified as the location of any excavation or of the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair, removal or demolition of any building, structure or structural part thereof within the city and that requires a permit under Chapter 14A-4 of this Code.

During the term of any concession and lease agreement between the City of Chicago and a private operator with respect to Chicago Midway Airport, the words "or Chicago Midway Airport" shall be deleted from this paragraph (1)(b).
      (a)   It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly violate a stop work order, or to knowingly cause, permit, encourage, assist, aid, abet or direct another person to violate a stop work order, or to knowingly in any manner be a party to a violation of a stop work order.
      Any person who violates this subsection upon conviction shall be punished, as follows:
         (i)   incarceration for a term not less than three days, nor more than six months, under the procedures set forth in Section 1-2-1.1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as amended, and the Illinois Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as amended; and

      (b)   It shall be unlawful for any person to knowingly destroy, deface, remove, damage, impair, mar, cover or obstruct any stop work order that a city official has posted or affixed at a work site.
      Any person who violates this subsection upon conviction shall be punished, as follows:
         (i)   incarceration for a term not less than three days, nor more than six months, under the procedures set forth in Section 1-2-1.1 of the Illinois Municipal Code, as amended, and the Illinois Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, as amended; and
