The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time and when not otherwise specified, each day that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute a separate offense.
(b) The application of the above penalty shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions. In case of fire resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission or neglect to comply with the lawful notice or order as prescribed in this Code, unless such order has been appealed from and remains pending or unless such order has been waived, the person or persons culpable or negligent in such respect shall pay to the City all costs and expenses incurred by the Sylvania Township Fire Department for the use of its employees, apparatus and materials in the extinguishment of any such fire or fires.
