§ 16-53. Cumulative remedies—No election of remedies.

(a)

All remedies and penalties in favor of the city or against any person other than the city hereunder or under any order or notice issued hereunder are cumulative. The pursuit and/or receipt by the city of any one (1) or more penalties or remedies shall not constitute an election of remedies, and shall not prevent the city from pursuing and/or receiving any and all other remedies and penalties.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a prosecution for a violation of sections 16-45(a) or (b) does not require a civil hearing to determine whether a nuisance exists or must be abated. Rather, the misdemeanor prosecution may proceed, regardless whether there is a civil proceeding to declare and abate a nuisance. Likewise, a civil hearing under this article may proceed, regardless whether there is a misdemeanor prosecution.
