(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, for any violation of this article, where there exists a State Code section which has the same elements as the City Code section for which a penalty is imposed, the penalty imposed by the City may be up to that penalty imposed by the State. (Ord. 310. Passed 7-16-07.)
(b) Whoever violates any provision of this Part Fifteen - Fire Prevention Code, for which no other penalty is provided or fails to comply therewith; or violates or fails to comply with any order made thereunder; or builds in violation of any detailed statement of specifications or plans submitted and approved thereunder or any certificate or permit issued thereunder and from which no appeal has been taken; or fails to comply with such an order as affirmed or modified by Council or by a court of competent jurisdiction within the time fixed herein, shall severally for each such violation and noncompliance respectively, be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue. All such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time. When not otherwise specified, each ten days that prohibited conditions are maintained shall constitute a separate offense. The application of any penalty pursuant to this section shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited conditions.
