Whenever a nuisance exists, the city may proceed by a suit in equity to enjoin and abate the same in the manner provided by law. Whenever, in any action, it is established that a nuisance exists, the Court may, along with the fine or penalty imposed, enter an order of abatement as part of the judgment in the case. Any person who shall violate or refuse to comply with the enforcement of any of the provisions of this chapter, set forth at full length herein or incorporated by reference, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $500 for each such offense. A new violation shall be deemed to have been committed every 24 hours of such failure to comply. In addition to the penalty contained herein, the city may seek relief through abatement proceedings.
