Wilful noncompliance shall include, without limitation, deliberate acts that result in failure to: (1) satisfy any requirements, terms, or conditions of Sections 726 et seq., or the orders, policies, regulations, rules, or standard plans and specifications of the Department or (2) pay any outstanding assessments, fees, or penalties set forth in Sections 726 et seq. that have been finally determined by the City or a court of competent jurisdiction.
