A. Alternatives. Upon receipt of an administrative citation, the responsible person must do one of the following:
1. Pay the fine.
a. Pay the fine to the City within 15 days from the date of the administrative citation.
b. All fines assessed shall be payable to the City of Culver City and submitted to the Finance Department.
c. Payment of a fine shall not excuse or discharge a failure to correct continuing violations, nor shall it bar further enforcement action by the City.

2. Remedy the violation. If the violation is of a continuing nature, pertains to building, plumbing, electrical or other similar structural or zoning issues, is deemed by the enforcement officer not to create an immediate danger to health and safety, and is corrected within the time given to remedy the violation, no fine shall be imposed; or
3. Request a hearing. A request for a hearing must be filed in accordance with the time limits and other provisions of § 1.02.045.
B. Failure to select and satisfy an alternative.
1. In the event the responsible party fails or refuses to select and satisfy any of the alternatives set forth in this Section, then the penalty shall be immediately due and owing to the City, and may be collected in any manner allowed by law for collection of a debt.
2. Commencement of an action to collect the delinquent penalty shall not preclude issuance of additional administrative citations to the responsible party should the violations persist.
