The Township Committee shall enforce this chapter and may require
directly or delegate the authority to require the issuance of specified
permits, certificates or authorizations as a prerequisite to:
A. The erection, construction, alteration, repair, remodeling, conversion,
removal or destruction of any building or structure.
B. The use or occupancy of any building, structure or land.
C. The subdivision or resubdivision of any land.
D. The development or improvement of any site or premises.
[Amended 12-1-1995; 8-11-2000; 3-1-2001; 6-14-2007 by Ord. No. 2007-8]
For any violation of the provisions of this chapter, or for any violation of the terms and conditions of resolutions of either the Planning Board or Zoning Board of Adjustment, the owner, the contractor, developer or other person or persons interested as lessees, tenants or otherwise in any building, land or premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist, or, under circumstances where such violation(s) can be abated, who shall fail to abate said violation within the time specified by the notice of violation, after written notice so to do has been served upon him by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service upon him, shall, for each and every violation, be subject to a fine not to exceed $1,000 or 90 days' imprisonment, or both, except as provided in §
160-68 and §
160-183A(2) of this chapter, at the discretion of the court before whom a conviction may be had. Each and every day that such violation shall continue after an abatement notice shall have been served shall be considered a separate and distinct violation of this chapter and not as a continuing offense. If, after diligent effort, service of a notice of abatement cannot be made by mail or in person, the posting of a copy of such notice on a conspicuous part of the premises in violation shall be construed as legal service.
Any and all Township ordinances or parts thereof in conflict
with or inconsistent with any of the terms of this chapter are hereby
repealed to such extent as they are so in conflict or inconsistent;
provided, however, that the adoption of this chapter shall not prevent
or bar the continuance or institution of any proceedings for offenses
heretofore committed in violation of any existing ordinances of the
Township of White.
