thereunder, or who acts in violation of any detailed statement of specifications or
plans submitted and approved thereunder, or who violates any provisions of a certificate
or permit issued thereunder, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable as provided by
law. The imposition of one (1) penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation
