§ 152.999 PENALTY.

   (A)   Any person or entity who violates any of the provisions of this chapter for which no other penalty is provided shall be assessed a civil fine not less than $100, but not more than $500 for each violation. Each day of violation shall constitute a separate offense. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the city from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation.

   (B)   Any person, owner, or agent involved in the sale or transfer of a lot or parcel and who violates this chapter shall be assessed a civil fine and shall be fined not less than $100 nor more than $250 for each lot or parcel which was the subject of sale or transfer, or a contract for sale or transfer.

   (C)   Any person who begins construction which requires a building permit, without a permit, shall incur an initial penalty not to exceed double the permit fee. Continued non-compliance would incur penalties as discussed above.

   (D)   Any violation of the provisions of §§ 152.210 through 152.228 is hereby defined as a nuisance, and such violation shall thence be pursued by the Code Enforcement Officer and penalized pursuant to the city’s nuisance ordinance and any amendments, thereto.
