For any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the owner, contractor or other person or persons interested as lessees, tenants or otherwise in any building, land or premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist, and who shall refuse to abate the violation within five days after written notice so to do has been served upon him by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service upon him, shall for each and every violation be liable to the penalty stated in Chapter 1, Section 1-5, at the discretion of the Court of Judicial Officer before whom a conviction may be had. Each and every day that such violation shall continue after the abatement notice shall have been served shall be considered a separate and specific violation of this chapter and not as a continuing offense.
