The abatement of a nuisance is not a penalty for violating this chapter, but is an additional remedy. The imposition of a penalty does not relieve a person of the duty to abate the nuisance; however, abatement of a nuisance within the time set by the notice to abate, or if a written protest has been filed, abatement within ten days of Council determination that a nuisance exists, will relieve the person responsible from the imposition of any fine for such nuisance.
