(A) A person who violates the provisions of §§ 151.01 through 151.12 of this chapter may be charged with a misdemeanor or be subject to the issuance of an administrative citation or both. Each day that a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense. The Code Official may post the rental dwelling unit by appropriate signs or notices prohibiting occupancy and may act to cause the rental dwelling unit to be vacated or remain vacant until the code violations are corrected.
(B) A violation of any provision of §§ 151.25 through 151.31 of this chapter is a misdemeanor. Each day the violation continues is a separate violation. In the alternative, the city shall impose the following administrative penalties upon the owner(s): $50 fine, plus an additional charge of $5 per day commencing on the day the alleged violation or violations occur. If, however, the owner has been given a specified correction period by the Code Official, the fine shall be waived if the violation is confirmed corrected by the Code Official before the expiration of such period.
