Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter or failing to comply therewith shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor for every such violation and noncompliance and, upon conviction, shall be subject to a fine as provided in Section 1.12.010 for each offense. The imposition of one penalty shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and each day that the violation or violations continue, after a reasonable time after notice to the offender, shall be deemed to be a separate offense. Prosecution under this chapter shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions. Repeated violations of this chapter shall be punishable by cancellation of license and any outstanding permits on which work has not been completed.
It shall be the duty of the inspector to order immediate stoppage of work, should multiple violations of this chapter be observed. All work shall be suspended until required revisions have been made and the provisions of this chapter complied with. Where strict adherence to the terms of this chapter would cause extreme difficulties, any necessary variations must be brought to the attention of the inspector involved and written permission obtained prior to installation of such work which is in variance with this chapter.
