(ii) The penalty shall not exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) for each violation, and each day of a continuing violation may be deemed a separate violation for purposes of penalty assessments.

(1) Enjoin or restrain any violation of or compel compliance with the provisions of this chapter and any rules or orders issued thereunder;

(2) Affirmatively order that remedial measures be taken as may be necessary or appropriate to implement or effectuate the purposes and intent of this chapter; and

(3) Recover all costs, expenses, and damages to the board and any other agency or subdivision of the state in enforcing or effectuating the provisions of this subchapter.

(c) If an unlicensed person who is required to be licensed performs HVACR work in violation of this subchapter, that person shall not be entitled to a mechanic's and materialman's lien, a laborer's lien, a repairmen's lien, or any other artisan's lien for work done in violation of this subchapter.
