Upon finding the existence of any violation of this code, the
Building Commissioner shall have the authority and duty to take or
direct all actions necessary or appropriate to abate and redress such
violation.
Any person who shall violate, disobey, omit, neglect, or refuse
to comply with, or who shall resist enforcement of, any provision
of this code shall be subject to a fine of not less than $25 nor more
than $750 for each offense; provided, however, that, if service of
summons is made by certified mail pursuant to 65 ILCS 5/1-2-9.1, the
maximum fine shall not exceed $200 for each offense. Each separate
provision of this code that is not complied with shall constitute
a separate violation. Each day a violation continues to exist shall
constitute a separate offense.
Nothing in this Part 7 shall be interpreted to prevent any person
entitled to relief in law or equity by reason of a violation of the
provisions of this code from bringing an appropriate action to secure
such relief.
