What is the maximum fine for repeat violators per day under Section 162.09?

Under Section 162.09, the maximum fine for repeat violators is set at up to $500 per day. This provision is designed to address ongoing violations effectively by imposing increasingly stringent penalties for individuals or entities that fail to comply with code requirements after receiving notice of violations.

The rationale behind this fine structure is to encourage prompt compliance with the applicable codes and to deter further infractions. By establishing a clear financial consequence for repeat offenders, the law emphasizes the importance of adherence to regulations and the role of code enforcement in maintaining community standards.

In contrast, the other options present lower amounts or no maximum fine, which do not align with the intent of creating a significant deterrent effect for those who repeatedly violate code provisions.
