Any person who shall be convicted of a violation

or public safety code or ordinance and for water, air and noise pollution
violations or a fine of not more than $600 for a violation of any

a term not to exceed 30 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
The continuation of such violation for each successive day shall constitute
