The imposition of a penalty for violation of any provision of this Fire Prevention Code, including the Fire Prevention Code adopted by Section 1533.01, shall not excuse any violation, neglect or noncompliance, nor permit nor allow its continuance. Whoever violates, neglects or fails to comply with any provision of this Code shall be required to correct or remedy such violation, neglect, default or defect within a reasonable time and each day that any such violation, neglect or noncompliance continues shall constitute a separate offense. The application or use of the above penal provisions shall not be held to prevent the removal of the prohibited conditions, and the City shall have the right, in addition to such penal provisions, to proceed in the Circuit Court or any other court having jurisdiction for the correction of the condition by any lawful procedure provided for by the statutes of the State.
