If any check in payment for any service, fee, charge
or fine imposed by this chapter is not duly paid or honored, the Treasurer
of the City shall send notice and demand to the payor of the check.
Upon such notice and demand, in addition to any other penalty provided
by law then shall be imposed a penalty in an amount equal to 1% of
the amount of the check; provided, however, that if the check is less
than $1,500, the penalty shall be $25. A person upon whom such penalty
is imposed may within 60 days of the imposition of the penalty appeal,
in writing, to the Commissioner of Revenue pursuant to MGL c. 44,
§ 69.
