(A) Whoever violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall be fined up to $500 for each violation. A separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which the violation occurs or continues.
(B) The payment of a penalty for the violation of any provision of this chapter shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue. Nor shall such payment be held to prevent the enforced correction of the prohibited conditions by the court in which any complaint based on these sections shall be filed, or by separate action as provided for herein.
(C) In addition to any penalties provided for herein or by any other section of Title IX, the city shall have the right to enforce compliance with the code or to enjoin the acts in violation of the code by filing the necessary actions for injunctive relief. If injunctive relief is granted by any court, the city shall further be entitled to recover the costs of prosecuting the suit, which costs shall include attorney fees or other necessary expenses.
(D) Violations of any of the sections of Title IX may be brought by the city or its authorized agent on a form complaint and summons, the same as or similar to the complaint and summons marked Exhibit “A” attached to Ord. 1575, available for inspection at the office of the City Clerk-Treasurer.
