(b) Any person who violates any provision of this chapter other than those listed in division (a) above or those which are felonies under state law is considered guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree.
(c) Each violation must be treated separately. When a violation is a continuing one, each day of the violation constitutes a separate offense.
(d) This chapter may be enforced by the City in a criminal proceeding, without providing a prior notice of violation other than the notice required under the Ohio Rules of Criminal Procedure. This chapter may also be enforced through orders issued by the City Fire Chief or his or her designee, and any order may provide a time in which compliance is required. Any order issued may be appealed to the City Board of Zoning Appeals no later than thirty (30) days after the date the order was issued. The filing of an appeal shall not constitute an automatic stay of the order. Nothing in the section limits the City’s ability to bring a civil action for injunctive relief and apply for an adequate legal or equitable remedy. The City may also bring a civil injunction or collection action to enforce any provision of this chapter.
