1. Notice to Violators. If the Zoning Administrator finds that any provision of the Zoning Code is being violated, he shall notify in writing the person responsible for such violations, indicating the nature of the violation and ordering the action necessary to correct it. The Building Official shall order: discontinuance of illegal buildings or structures or of additions, alterations, or structural changes thereto; discontinuance of any illegal work being done; or shall take any other action authorized by the Zoning Code or by this Code of Ordinances to insure compliance with, or to prevent violation of, its provisions.
2. Responsibility. The owners or tenants of any building, structure, land, or part thereof and any architect, builder, contractor, agent, or other person who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains a violation of the Zoning Code may each be charged with a separate offense and upon conviction suffer the penalties herein provided.
3. City Remedies. If any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted, or maintained, or any building, structure, or land is used in violation of the Zoning Code, the City may, in addition to other remedies, institute an injunction, municipal infraction, mandamus, or other appropriate lawful action necessary to prevent, correct, or abate such violation. A violation of the Zoning Code shall be deemed a violation of this Code of Ordinances and, thus, a municipal infraction under Chapter 3 of this Code of Ordinances and punishable as such. Any construction started without a permit or which does not comply with the requirements of this Code of Ordinances shall be removed immediately. The City Council may, without limitation, provide for abatement of such infraction, pursue civil action in court, or prosecute such violation, such action to be prosecuted in the name of the City, or may pursue any combination of remedies. Each day that said violation is continued shall constitute a separate violation. Nothing in this section shall limit the remedies and enforcement powers of the City, which shall include injunctive relief.
