The commissioner or the building inspector, as the case may be, shall enforce the provisions of this chapter by order in writing served upon the owner, tenant or lessee, specifying the directions to be executed and the time limited for the completion thereof. A person neglecting to comply with the terms of such order within the time limited, or any extension thereof granted by the commissioner or building inspector shall be liable to a penalty of one hundred dollars and to a further penalty of ten dollars for each day that shall elapse after the expiration of the time limit until compliance is made with the terms of such order. Such penalties shall be cumulative, and more than one penalty may be recovered in the same action.
