Any person convicted of an infraction under the provisions of a city
ordinance shall be punishable by:
1. A

2. A
fine not exceeding two hundred dollars for a second violation of the
same ordinance within one year; and
3. A
fine not exceeding five hundred dollars for each additional violation
of the same ordinance within one year.
B. Each
such person shall be guilty of a separate offense for each and every
day during any portion of which any violation of any provision of
a city ordinance, or the provisions of any code adopted by reference
by a city ordinance, is committed, continued, or permitted by such
person and shall be punishable accordingly.
C. In addition
to the penalties provided by this chapter, any condition caused or
permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of a city
ordinance, or the provisions of any code adopted by reference by a
city ordinance shall be deemed a public nuisance and may be abated
by the city, and each day such condition continues shall be regarded
as a new and separate offense.
