[Adopted 7-28-1988 by Ord. No. MC-2399 (Ch. 1, § 1-16,
of the 1987 Code)]
[Amended 10-12-2006 by Ord. No. MC-4234]
A.
Except as provided in Subsections B and C of this section, wherever no specific penalty is provided in the Code of the City of Camden (1986) or in any other ordinance of the City for the punishment of an act which is prohibited or which is declared to be unlawful for an offense or for the nonperformance of an act which is required to be done, the violation of any such provision shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $2,000 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or by a period of community service not exceeding 90 days; provided, however, that when the maximum penalty fixed by an applicable state statute is less, by force of said statute or by judicial construction, than the penalties fixed in the Code of the City of Camden, then the limitations of that state statute shall be applicable.
B.
For a violation of the provisions of Chapter 450, Housing Standards, the provisions of Chapter 620, Property Maintenance, dealing with residential structures, and the provisions of Chapter 870, Zoning and Land Use, which deal with the use of lands and structures erected thereon, the maximum fine that may be imposed shall be $1,250. The owner may be granted a period of 30 days to abate the condition(s) giving rise to the complaint and shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing before a court of competent jurisdiction for an independent determination. Subsequent to the expiration of the thirty-day period, a fine of greater than $1,250 may be imposed if a court has not determined otherwise or, upon reinspection of the property, it is determined that the abatement has not been substantially completed.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during
or on which a violation of the Code of the City of Camden (1986) or
of any other ordinance of the City, punishable by fine or imprisonment,
occurs or continues.
The imposition of a fine or imprisonment as punishment for a
violation of the Code of the City of Camden (1986) or of any other
ordinances of the City shall not be deemed to be in lieu of any other
provision therein providing for revocation or suspension of any license
or permit issued thereunder.
The imposition of a fine or imprisonment as punishment for a
violation of the Code of the City of Camden (1986) or of any other
ordinance of the City shall not constitute a bar to, or be deemed
in substitution of, any other provision therein providing for the
exercise of any right or power or remedy of the City.
