A. Violation of any provision of this chapter may be enforced by issuance of a stop work order or notice of violation by the enforcement officer or by civil action, administrative or judicial, including, but not limited to, an action for injunctive relief. A stop work order shall specify the violation(s) and shall remain in effect until the deficient condition has been remedied. A notice of violation shall specify the violation(s) and shall allow a reasonable time for correcting the violation to the satisfaction of the enforcement officer.
B. Violation of any provision of this chapter shall constitute a municipal infraction under this code. A person may be cited for subsequent violations as additional violations are discovered. Each day that a municipal infraction occurs or is permitted to exist constitutes a separate offense.
C. In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties provided herein, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be considered a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a nuisance. This nuisance may be summarily abated or remedied at the violator's expense.
D. In addition to any fine or penalty set forth in a schedule of violations adopted by the city, as amended thereafter from time to time, the city may recover all attorney fees, court costs and other expenses associated with enforcement of this chapter, including necessary monitoring expenses.
E. The remedies listed in this section are not exclusive of any other remedies available under any applicable federal, state or local law. It is within the discretion of the enforcement officer to seek cumulative remedies if necessary. Enforcement pursuant to this section shall be undertaken by the enforcement officer upon the advice and consent of the city attorney. (Ord. 4980, 12-14-2009)
