It is unlawful for any person to alter, change or misrepresent any provision of this code, to insert or delete pages or portions thereof or to alter or tamper with this code in any manner that will cause the law of the city to be misrepresented. (Ord. O-93-6-6 § 1 (part), 1994)

1.20.020 Violations of ordinances and civil penalty provisions.

(a) It is unlawful for any person to violate or fail to comply with any provision of this code and, where no specific penalty is otherwise provided, the violation of any provision of this code shall constitute a civil violation.

(b) The city or an aggrieved person may institute a civil action against a person who violates an ordinance. In addition to injunctive and compensatory relief, a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars plus any surcharge required to be imposed by AS 12.55.039 may be imposed for each violation. Each day that a violation of an ordinance continues constitutes a separate violation. All civil penalties imposed and collected for violation of this code or other municipal ordinances shall belong to the city and be paid over to its treasury.

On application for injunctive relief and a finding of a violation or a threatened violation, the superior court shall grant the injunction. (Ord. O-99-11-3 § 2, 1998; Ord. O-93-6-6 § 1 (part), 1994)
