A. Causing a nuisance is unlawful; allowing a nuisance to exist on property controlled by a person is a violation by that person. If the owner allows a nuisance to exist after a notice from the City to abate, the owner shall be in violation of this chapter even if they do not reside on the property.
B. Any violation of this chapter shall be charged as an infraction, the first time cited. The court may assess a fine not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each violation. Each day that a person allows a nuisance to continue on property under his or her control shall be a separate violation. A second violation on the same property within a one-year period may be cited as a misdemeanor with a fine not to exceed three hundred dollars ($300.00) or incarceration in the County Jail for up to thirty (30) days, or both such fine and incarceration.
