In any case other than those in which a violation is expressly stated to be a petty misdemeanor in this Code, any person violating any provision of this Code, or any rule or regulation adopted under this Code will, upon conviction, be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 90 days or both, plus, in either case, the cost of prosecution. The cost of prosecution may be added to the penalty imposed on every person convicted of violating any provision of this Code.

    (c)

    Separate violations. Unless otherwise provided, each act of violation and every day on which a violation occurs or continues, constitutes a separate offense.
