A. Any person convicted of violating the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. Each day that the violation continues shall be a separate offense.

B. In addition to, or as an alternative to any criminal prosecution or other penalty or billable cost of abatement or inspection as provided by ordinance or statute, any responsible person who violates a provision of this chapter, or order of the director issued pursuant to this chapter, may be assessed a civil penalty under Chapter 1.12.

C. In addition to imposition of a civil penalty, the director shall have the authority to order any responsible person to stop work if the work does not conform to the permit requirements and the severity is determined to be sufficient to warrant such action.
