Upon presentation of proper credentials, duly authorized representatives
of the City may enter at reasonable times upon any property within
the City to investigate or ascertain the condition of the subject
property in regard to any aspect regulated by this chapter.
In the event that a person fails to comply with the requirements
of this chapter, or fails to conform to the requirements of any permit
issued hereunder, the City shall provide written notification of the
violation. Such notification shall set forth the nature of the violation(s)
and establish a time limit, usually 16 days, for correction of these
violation(s). Failure to comply within the time specified shall subject
such person to the penalty provisions of this chapter. All such penalties
shall be deemed cumulative and shall not prevent the City from pursuing
any and all other remedies. It shall be responsibility of the owner
of the real property on which any regulated activity is proposed to
occur, is occurring or has occurred to comply with the term and conditions
of this chapter.
A.
Any person who or which has violated any provisions of this chapter

be subject to imprisonment for a term not to exceed 90 days. Each
day that a violation occurs shall constitute a separate offense. All
fines shall be paid to the City Manager of the City of DuBois for
its general purposes.
