(A) Any person violating any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99 of this code of ordinances.
(B) (1) Any person or persons convicted of being the author or keeper of a nuisance, or otherwise found guilty of a violation of any of the provisions of §§ 92.01 through 92.21 of this chapter, shall be fined not less than $50, nor more than $500, for the first offense and, for the second and all subsequent offenses, not less than $100, nor more than $1,000.
(Prior Code, § 4.10.270)
(b) The abatement of a nuisance is not a penalty for violating §§ 92.01 through 92.21 of this chapter, but is an additional remedy. The imposition of a penalty does not relieve a person of the duty to abate the nuisance. However, abatement of a nuisance within ten days of the date of notice to abate, or a written protest has been filed, then abatement within ten days of Council determination that a nuisance exists, will relieve the person responsible from the imposition of a fine under division (B)(1) above.
(Prior Code, § 4.10.280)
(3) In addition to all other provisions of §§ 92.01 through 92.21 of this chapter, the Chief of Police is hereby authorized to determine that a nuisance exists. Upon such determination by the Chief of Police, the Chief shall cause a citation to be issued to and served upon the person having possession of or in custody of the premises upon or within which the nuisance exists. The citation shall identify the nuisance for which citation is issued together with a street address or similar description of the property upon or within which the nuisance exists. The person to whom the citation is issued shall be required to appear in the Municipal Court on the date and at the time and place indicated thereon. At the time of appearance in the Municipal Court, a complaint shall be served upon the individual to whom the citation has been issued. The penalties set forth in division (B)(1) above shall apply to nuisances determined to exist by the Chief of Police for which the person charged is found guilty.
(Prior Code, § 4.10.290)
(C) A person who owns or is in possession of or is in charge of a dangerous building, and who allows the building to remain dangerous for as long as ten days after receipt of the notice specified in § 92.41 of this chapter, may be fined not more than $200.
