Violation of the provisions of this chapter or failure to comply with any of its requirements shall be grounds for a civil proceeding. Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated or permitted the violation of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil proceeding commenced by the City, pay a judgment of not more than $1,000 plus all court costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the City as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of the violation by the District Justice. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, although the District Justice may, at his/her discretion, determine that the first day of violation is the fifth day after his/her decision if he/she believes the violator was unaware of the violation prior to being charged. All judgments, costs and reasonable attorneys' fees collected shall be paid over to the City.

The owner or tenant or any building, structure, premises or parts thereof and any architect, builder, contractor, agent or other person who commits, participates in, assists in or maintains such violation may each be found guilty of a separate offense and suffer the penalties provided herein.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed or interpreted to grant to any person or entity other than the City the right to commence any action for enforcement pursuant to this section, nor prevent the City from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violation, or to bring an action to enjoin any violation of this chapter.
