A.    Whenever any act is prohibited by this chapter, or is made or declared to be unlawful, or an offense, or the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, the violator shall be guilty of an infraction as defined in Penal Code Section 19C and upon conviction shall be punished by fine as provided by Government Code Section 36900 as then in effect. Every day any violation of any provision of this chapter continues constitutes a separate offense.

    B.    Any person found to be violating any of the foregoing provisions of this chapter, except Section 13.12.040A, or any amendments to it, shall be served with a written notice by the city stating the nature of the violation and requiring a time limit for the satisfactory correction of it. Any person who shall continue any such violation beyond the time specified in such notice shall be guilty of an infraction as provided in subsection A of this section; provided, however, that if the city engineer determines that the violation results in a public hazard or menace to the public health or safety, he may enter upon the premises without notice and do everything necessary to abate such hazard or menace to the public health or safety. The actual cost incurred by the engineer in taking such abatement action shall be a legal charge against the violator.

    C.    Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall become liable to the city for any expense, loss or damage occasioned by the city by reason of such violation.

    D.    The city engineer and the director of finance are charged with enforcement of the provisions of this chapter relating to their separate office and with the coordination of all city, county and district officials and departments in order to achieve it purpose.
