If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter
or of Chapters SPS 320, 321, 322, 323, 324 and 325, Wis. Adm. Code,
is adjudged unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
[Amended 9-5-2017]
Any building or structure hereafter erected, enlarged, altered or repaired, or any use hereafter established in violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed an unlawful building, structure or use. The Village Building Inspector shall promptly report all such violations to the Village Board, which shall bring an action to enjoin the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair or moving of such building or structure or the establishment of such use, or to cause such building, structure or use to be removed, and such violation may also be subject to a penalty as provided in §
1-4 of the Code of the Village of Tigerton. In any such action, the fact that a permit was issued shall not constitute a defense, nor shall any error, oversight or dereliction of duty on the part of the Village Building Inspector constitute a defense. Compliance with the provisions of this chapter may also be enforced by injunctional order at the suit of the owner or owners of any real estate within the jurisdiction of this chapter.
