Question

Immersing utensils in a mikveh intended for human immersion without permission, and there is a notice stating that it is forbidden to immerse utensils there. Is the immersion valid?

Answer

Although the immersion was done improperly, as it is forbidden to use the mikveh against the established rules, nevertheless, the immersion is valid. This is because the immersion is the act that permits, similar to stealing a knife and slaughtering with it, where the slaughter is certainly valid.
