§ 153.999 PENALTY FOR VIOLATION.
   (A)   Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any of the provisions of these zoning regulations, or fail to comply thereafter with any of the requirements thereof, or who shall build, alter, move, or occupy any building in violation of any detailed statement or plans submitted and approved hereunder, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall, upon conviction, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500 or double such sum for each repetition thereof. If the violation is, in its nature, continuous in respect to time, the penalty for allowing the continuance thereof is a fine not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars $250 for each day that the same is unlawfully continued. The owner or owners of any building or premises or part thereof where anything in violation of these regulations shall be placed, or shall exist, and any architect, builder, contractor, agent, engineer, person, firm or corporation employed in connection therewith, and who may have assisted in the commission of any such violation, shall be guilty of a separate offense, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined as herein above provided.
   (B)   Violations of these regulations that are continuous with respect to time are a public nuisance and may be abated by injunctive or other equitable relief. The imposition of a penalty, however, does not prevent the simultaneous granting of equitable relief in appropriate cases.
