Citation For Noise Complaint - $1500 Fine

I live in Maryland and was issued a noise complaint for being 20db over the legal limit at night. No big deal, we were told it would be $500 and we were ready to pay it, this was our first infraction.

Just got the citation in the mail and on top of the $500 fine it says the following:

“The city of college park is seeking abatement for this infraction. You may be ordered to abate this infraction or be assessed the costs for the abatement, as well as a fine of up to $1000, plus court costs. Payment of the preset fine will not satisfy the abatement action and an order of abatement may still be entered against you.”

I was ready to pay the fine and be done with it before, but I do not know what to make of this now. I am trying to get legal counsel, but lawyers are expensive and we are students. Wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this sort of clause in the citation.

Any information is greatly appreciated, thanks.
