A. General. Any person, corporation, firm or partnership, or anyone acting on behalf of any person, corporation, firm or partnership, who admits responsibility or is found to be responsible through a municipal civil infraction determination for violation of any provision of this Ordinance shall be fined up to $500 for each day of the violation pursuant to § 10.2H: Continuing Violations.
B. Repeat Offenses. Each time a violation of this Ordinance occurs and a citation is issued by the City and resolved pursuant to this chapter 10, but the same violation occurs on the same property within six months after the prior citation, the amount of the daily fine for such violation shall double. For example, if a violation of this Ordinance occurs and is resolved, but a second citation is issued for the same offense on the same property within six months after the date of the first citation, the fine shall be $1,000 for each day of the violation. If the second violation is resolved, but a third citation is issued for the same offense on the same property within six months after the second citation, the fine shall be $2,000 per day of the violation.
C. Civil Fines. In the case of a firm or a partnership, the civil fine may be imposed upon the partners or members. In the case of a corporation, the civil fine may be imposed upon the officers of the corporation.
D. Lien. The City may impose a lien on property of any person, corporation, firm or partnership, or other entity upon whom a municipal civil infraction is imposed pursuant to the chapter to recover the amount of any unpaid civil infraction.
