A. Whenever “violate” or “violation” is used herein, it shall be deemed to mean:
1. The performance of an act, or the permitting or the causing of the performance of an act prohibited or declared to be unlawful or an offense by this Code or any ordinance of the City.
2. The failure to do any act required by the Code or any ordinance of the City.
B. Any violation of this Code or any ordinance of the City shall constitute a misdemeanor; provided, however, that a violation shall constitute an infraction when a provision of this Code or any ordinance of the City specifically declares a violation to be an infraction; provided, further, that any violation which would constitute a misdemeanor may be prosecuted as an infraction, at the discretion of the City Attorney.
C. No person shall violate any provision of the Code or any ordinance of the City.
D. Whenever in this Code any act or omission is made unlawful, it shall include causing, permitting, aiding, abetting, suffering or concealing the fact of such act or omission.
E. In addition to the penalties provided for in this Code, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this Code shall be deemed a public nuisance, and may be summarily abated as such by the City. Every day such condition continues shall constitute a new and separate offense.
F. Each and every day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of this Code is committed, continued or permitted by such person shall constitute a separate offense. A person may be charged with a separate offense for each such violation and punished accordingly.
