C. 
Prosecution. If the notice of violation is not complied with promptly, the Electrical Inspector shall request the attorney for the City to institute the appropriate proceeding at law or in equity to restrain, correct or abate such violation or to require the removal or termination of the unlawful use of the building or structure in violation of the provisions of this Chapter or of the order or direction made pursuant thereto.
