Any person violating this section shall be responsible for the removal of the material within 48 hours after being given written notice from the City that such materials must be removed. If the materials are not removed within 48 hours, the violator shall be responsible for all costs incurred by the City in removing the materials. A violation of this section constitutes a Class 2 civil infraction as defined in LMC 1.48.010, punishable by a fine of up to $500.00. Each day, location, violation and incident shall constitute a separate civil infraction. Materials placed or allowed to remain upon public right-of-way are a public nuisance. (LMC 12.02.050.)
