For any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter,
the owner, contractor or other person or persons interested as lessees,
tenants or otherwise in any building, land or premises where such
violation has not been corrected within the time specified by the
notice of violation after written notice of said violation has been
served upon him by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by
personal service upon him, shall, for each and every violation, be
subject to a fine not to exceed $1,000 or 90 days' imprisonment, or
both, at the discretion of the court before whom a conviction may
be had. Each and every day that such violation shall continue after
such abatement notice shall have been served shall be considered a
separate and specific violation of this chapter and not as a continuing
offense. If, after diligent effort, service of a notice of violation
cannot be made by mail or in person, posting of a copy of such notice
at a conspicuous part of the premises in violation shall be construed
as legal service.
