(A) Upon being notified by the code compliance officer that a previous order of the Special Magistrate has not been complied with by the time specified in such order, or finding that a repeat violation has been committed, the Special Magistrate may impose a fine at the daily rate previously set by the Special Magistrate, or in the case of a repeat violation, for each day the repeat violation continues, beginning with the date the repeat violation is found to have occurred by a code compliance officer.
(B) If there is reason to believe that a violation or a condition causing the violation presents a serious threat to the public health, safety and welfare, or if the violation is irreparable or irreversible in nature, the Special Magistrate shall notify the City Council, which may authorize reasonable repairs or other corrective actions required to bring the property into compliance, or otherwise secure the property, and charge the violator with the reasonable costs of the repairs or other corrective actions along with the fines imposed pursuant to this section. Making such repairs does not create a continuing obligation on the part of the city to make further repairs or to maintain the property and does not create any liability against the City Council for damages to the property if such repairs were completed in good faith. If a finding of a violation or a repeat violation has been made as provided in this section, a hearing shall not be necessary for issuance of the order imposing the fine by the Special Magistrate.
