The Board of Commissioners is authorized to make and adopt such procedural
rules as it may deem necessary for the proper enforcement of this chapter,
provided that such procedural rules and regulations shall not be in conflict
with the substantive provisions of this chapter. Such rules and regulations
shall have the same force and effect as the provisions of this chapter, and
the penalty for violation thereof shall be the same as the penalty for violation
of the provisions of this chapter.
If a violation has not been corrected within the time designated for
such compliance and the Board of Commissioners finds that the continuation
of such violation constitutes a public nuisance or hazard, it may order the
correction of such violation, using Township funds or Township personnel to
accomplish such corrections, and may charge the cost thereof to the violator.
It may collect such cost by lien and/or otherwise as may be authorized by
the laws of this state.
[Amended by Ord. No. 97-4[1]]
Any person, firm or corporation who violates any provision of this chapter
or any provision of any rule or regulation adopted by the Board of Commissioners
pursuant to authority granted by this chapter or fails to correct, within
the time set forth in this chapter, any defect for which the dwelling or dwellings
have been cited shall be subject to payment of a fine or penalty not more
than $1,000 for each violation, plus costs of prosecution, and, in default
of payment of such fine and costs, imprisonment for a term not exceeding 30
days. Each day that such person, firm or corporation fails to comply with
any of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a separate violation.
