A person who violates this chapter is guilty of a municipal infraction and is subject
to a fine as established by resolution of the City Council; provided, that no citation
for a municipal infraction shall be issued until the notice required by Section 17.48.290 first has been served upon the alleged violator and the time specified in the notice
for correction of the violation has expired with no appeal to the Building Board of
Appeals having been taken and with the condition in violation of this chapter not
having been corrected. In the event of an appeal to the Building Board of Appeals,
no citation for a municipal infraction shall be issued until notice of the decision
of the Building Board of Appeals first has been served upon the alleged violator and
the time specified in the notice for taking the required action has expired with the
action required by the notice not having been taken or completed. A continuing violation
of the same provision of this chapter constitutes a separate violation for each day
in which the condition is allowed to exist after the expiration of the time specified
in the notice given by the Director of the Department of Planning and Zoning or the
Building Board of Appeals, whichever is later.
