Any person, firm or corporation, failing to comply with any order issued pursuant to any code provision or section thereof, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree, and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000) or imprisoned not more than six months, or both. The imposition of the penalties herein described shall not prevent the Director of Law from instituting appropriate action: to prevent an unlawful construction or restrain, correct or abate a violation; or to prevent illegal occupancy of a building, structure or premises; or to stop an illegal act, conduct of business or use of a building or structure in or about any premises. Each day a violation continues constitutes a new offense.
