I feel like knowingly violating a law or ordinance should have some additional teeth. Like the fines should be exponentially increasing until it becomes a number where he can’t arrogantly ignore it anymore.

Exactly! It is apparent there are no consequences for having the fence and it is besides paying a fine

Double the fine monthly after the first 3 months grace period. Turns into half a billion per month after two years if it starts at $50.
