Section 131.

Any person or entity violating any provision of Sections 122 to 132 shall be subject to a civil penalty of one thousand ($1,000) dollars per violation. If a person or entity is assessed three (3) such penalties in any thirty-six (36) month period, the amount of the penalty for any subsequent violations by such person or entity shall be increased to ten thousand ($10,000) dollars per violation for a period of five years. In any penalty enforcement action, the violator shall also be liable for the attorneys' fees of the City and the complainant. Each day a violation continues after the passage of seventy-five (75) days from the date of the filing of the initial complaint with the Commission shall constitute a separate and distinct offense. Any person or entity violating any provision of Sections 122 to 132 may be enjoined by a suit filed by the City in a court of competent jurisdiction, and this remedy is in addition to any penalty provision.
