D. The City may suspend or revoke a license or permit or other approval associated with the Code Violation if the administrative enforcement penalty and accrued late charges are not timely paid. 1-5-7: SUBSEQUENT VIOLATIONS: Each seven (7)-day period that a violation continues to exist on a property shall constitute a separate offense subject to enforcement as provided for by this Section including the issuance of additional citations.
