Each day that a violation continues is a separate violation.

C. A contractor or other person who engages in, directs, or supervises the work on land or a structure, or a use of property, or an activity or action, may be held liable for any violation of BMC Title 15, 16, 17 or 18 resulting from the work performed, the use of the property, or the activity or action, and is subject to the penalty and remedy provisions of this section.

D. A person who fails or refuses to comply with an order of correction, suspension, discontinuation, removal, demolition or other enforcement order issued under BMC Title 15, 16, 17 or 18 is guilty of a violation of the code section under which the order was issued in addition to any underlying or other violation of a provision of BMC Title 15, 16, 17 or 18.
