All necessary cost assumed by the City Council for technical or professional services to properly inspect, examine, survey, or check in connection with a request for approval or a permit under this section shall be charged to and paid by the party or parties making application for same.
(C) The City Council shall undertake injunctive proceedings whenever necessary to enforce the observance of the regulations and the orders of the City Council issued in pursuance of the enforcement of said regulations, if the City Council finds that the penalties prescribed for violations of this section are inadequate to cope with an unusual situation and the regulations are being arbitrarily ignored and violated.
