A. The City may pursue legal and equitable remedies for collection of unpaid fines and penalties at its discretion. Pursuit of one remedy does not preclude the pursuit of any other remedies until the City has collected the total fines and penalties owed by a person under this chapter.
B. City may refuse a Land Use Approval issuance or other City approval pertaining to the property, real or personal, to any Responsible Person with unpaid and/or delinquent fines, subject of the citation issued pursuant to this chapter.
C. Any code violation shall constitute a nuisance. To compel code compliance, the City may seek to abate the nuisance and collect the costs incurred by means of a nuisance abatement lien against the property where a property-related violation occurred in accordance with the provisions of Fullerton Municipal Code Chapter 6.01. When the City incurs actual abatement costs, it may recover any unpaid delinquent civil fines, interest and penalties as such a lien against the property of the Responsible Person, who is the Owner of the property where the violation occurred.
