(A) Any person who fails to comply with the provisions of this chapter or who fails to carry out an order made pursuant to this chapter or violates any condition attached to a permit, approval or certificate shall be subject to penalties established at § 10.99.
(B) If the city corrects a violation itself or causes a violation to be corrected on its behalf, a lien for the amount of time and expense involved in correcting the violation shall be filed against the land where the violation occurred unless the owner or occupant of that land shall reimburse the city its expenses upon request. A minimum charge of $250 for each hour, or part of an hour, shall be levied for work performed by or on behalf of the city in correcting a violation. An additional $50 administrative fee shall be levied upon the lien for costs incurred by the city. Said lien shall be recorded with the County Records Division and may be foreclosed upon according to Illinois Law.
(C) If the city corrects the violation itself or causes the violation to be corrected on it behalf, the violator shall nevertheless be subject to the above-specified fine, in addition to a lien being placed on the violator's property.
