A. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Monroe Municipal Code, the city is authorized to take appropriate action to enforce compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Said enforcement action may include, but is not limited to, any of the following remedies:
1. Issuance by the chief of police of a notice and order of code violation or a notice of civil infraction in accordance with Chapter 1.04 MMC; and/or
2. Revocation by the city administrator or his/her designee of a business license issued under Chapter 5.02 MMC; and/or

Application by the city attorney to any court of competent jurisdiction for abatement, injunction, mandamus and/or other appropriate action or proceeding to prevent continuing nuisance activities at the property and/or restraining any person from violating any of the provisions of this chapter and compelling compliance with the provisions herein. If the city substantially prevails in any such action or proceeding, the person shall promptly pay all costs incurred by the city, including incidental expenses, as defined by MMC 1.04.060. Without prejudice to the foregoing, said costs may be collected by assessment lien in accordance with MMC 1.04.060.

C. The penalty and enforcement provisions provided in this chapter shall not be deemed exclusive and the city may pursue any remedy or relief it deems appropriate.
D. The failure to prosecute and/or convict an individual for the violation(s) constituting the nuisance activities is not a defense to an action under this chapter. (Ord. 026/2016 § 1)
