(A) Generally. Any person violating any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99.
(Prior Code, § 842.04)
(1) Collection of fee. The Fire Chief may collect a fee, based on costs incurred by the village, when the Fire Department is called upon to investigate or extinguish a fire which has been kindled or maintained in violation of this subchapter. The fee shall be charged to the occupants of the premises where the violation occurs. The fee shall not be less than $100, except that if a similar violation occurs on the same premises within any 90-day period, the minimum fee to be charged for a second and any succeeding violation shall not be less than $200. Charges for Fire Department services under this division (C)(1) which remain unpaid for a period of 30 days or more may be placed as a lien on the premises where the violation occurred; provided, however, that no lien shall be placed on the premises until the owner has been served with a notice to show cause for the Council as to why a lien should not be placed on the premises. Following a show cause hearing, the Council may waive a lien if it appears that the owner of the premises has cooperated with the village in the collection of Fire Department fees.
(Prior Code, § 900.08)
(2) Duty to correct. Whoever violates or fails to comply with any of the provisions of §§ 94.20 through 94.25 is also required to correct or remedy the violation or noncompliance within a reasonable time.

Each day the violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punished as such.

(2) Subsequent violations. Any person violating any of the provisions of §§ 94.40 through 94.42 for a second time within a three-month period shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine of not less than $200 or more than $500 or by imprisonment in the County Jail for a period of not less than 30 days, or more than 90 days, or by both the fine and imprisonment.
