A. Whenever any act or condition is declared in this code to be, or constitutes, a nuisance, or provides a cause of action for injunction or other civil remedy, the remedy shall be considered to be cumulative, and in addition to the penalties provided in Section 1.28.010, an action for abatement, injunction, or other civil remedy may be brought against such violator.

B. The suspension or revocation of any license, permit, or other privilege conferred by the city shall not be regarded as a penalty for the purposes of this code.

C. When work or activity for which a permit or license is required by this code or any code adopted by this code is commenced without first having acquired such permit or license, the specified fee shall be doubled, but the payment of such double fee shall not relieve any person from fully complying with all the requirements of this code or any codes adopted by this code, nor from any other prescribed penalties. Payment of such double fee or any unpaid portion thereof may be compelled by civil action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The acceptance of any portion less than the entire amount of such double fee by any officer or employee of the city shall not constitute a waiver or release of the balance thereof. (Prior code § 1-3-2)
