(A) Any person who shall violate or refuse to comply with the enforcement of any of the provisions of this chapter, set forth at full length herein or incorporated by reference, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $500 for each offense. A new violation shall be deemed to have been committed every 24 hours of such failure to comply. In addition, the city may, by an action in the District Court, enforce the provisions of this chapter through equity and injunctive processes.
(Prior Code, § 9-401)
(B) Any person who shall intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence, violate § 150.03 shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be fined in an amount not to exceed $500. Each day of violation shall constitute a separate offense.
(C) Violation of § 150.40
shall be a misdemeanor subject to a $100 fine for each occurrence and shall be repeated for each day each occurrence continues.
(Prior Code, § 9-308)
(D) (1) Any person upon whom a duty is placed by the provisions of §§ 150.70 et seq. who shall fail, neglect, or refuse to perform such duty, or who shall violate a provision of §§ 150.70 et seq. shall be deemed guilty of an infraction and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not to exceed $500, except that each person so convicted shall be fined in a sum of not less than $200 for the first offense, not less than $300 for the second offense, and not less than $400 for the third offense and each offense thereafter. The penalty herein provided shall be cumulative with and in addition to the revocation, cancellation, or forfeiture of any license, permit, or right elsewhere provided for or as provided by law. Each day that a violation of §§ 150.70 et seq. continues shall constitute a separate and distinct offense and shall be punishable as such.
(2) Any and all civil penalties assessed under §§ 150.70 et seq. shall be billed to the owner or other responsible party. Failure or refusal to pay any and all such penalties permits the city to pursue any and all available legal remedies for the enforcement and collection of such penalties including, but not limited to, civil actions being filed in district court, suits or actions being maintained in any court of competent jurisdiction, abatement of nuisances maintained in violation of §§ 150.70 et seq., institution of injunction, mandamus, or other appropriate action or proceedings to enforce the penalty provisions of §§ 150.70 et seq. This section in no way limits the penalties, actions or abatement procedures which may be taken by the city for a violation of any other ordinance of the city or statute of the State of Nebraska.
