(C) Graffiti. Any person who is convicted of violating § 94.053 of this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not exceeding $500, or by imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both fine and imprisonment. In addition to that punishment, the court may, in imposing sentence, order the defendant to restore the property so defaced, damaged or destroyed.
(D) Administrative penalty. There shall be an administrative penalty assessed for each day a nuisance condition continues to exist pursuant to § 94.001 through and including § 94.012, after the expiration of the five calendar days allowed for abatement of the nuisance as provided in § 94.007 or 48 hours as provided in §§ 94.004 and 94.007. The administrative penalty shall be in an amount of $50 per day and will continue to accrue for each day the nuisance continues to exist. The calendar day shall be calculated based upon the date of the violation notice under § 94.007. The city has the authority to collect said administrative penalty directly from the person or property owner obligated to pay same. Alternatively, if not collected administratively, the city may enforce such penalty collection through the appropriate court jurisdiction.
