In the event any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, dismantled, converted or maintained, or any building, structure or land is used, or any land is divided into lots, blocks, or sites in violation or in threat of violation of this chapter or of any ordinance or other regulation made under authority conferred thereby, or conditions imposed by a building permit, the proper local authorities of the Village, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, conversion, maintenance, occupancy, moving, use or division of land, to restrain, correct or abate such violation, to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure, or land or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such lot.

Additional penalties. In addition to any other remedies or penalties that may be imposed, a violation of this article shall entitle the Village Board to remedy or repair the conditions constituting the violation, at the premises owner's expense, in order to bring the premises into conformity and compliance with this article. The disbursements and expenses shall become a charge and a lien upon the premises and the same shall be added to the premises' next annual Village tax bill, to be collected in accordance with the provisions of law and the procedure for the payment of Village taxes with interest, as may be provided by law. This provision shall be in addition to any other provisions, penalties or powers available to the Village for enforcement of this chapter.

The stop-work order shall serve notice to the owner, builder, developer, agent and/or any other individual or business on the premises that all actions specified on the stop-work order must be terminated immediately.
C. 
Relief from the stop-work order can be realized as follows:
(1) 
If all provisions of this chapter, together with other conditions specified by the Zoning Administrator, are met, then the Village Board may authorize the termination of the stop-work order.
(2) 
Except for cases involving site plan review, if a variance is granted by the Zoning Board of Appeals permitting the violations specified on the stop-work order to continue thenceforth as allowable, said administrative decision shall also specify the conditions for the termination of the stop-work order.
Any permit or approval granted under this chapter that is based upon or is granted in reliance upon any material misrepresentation, or failure to make a material fact or circumstance known, by or on behalf of an applicant, shall be void. This section shall not be construed to affect the remedies available to the Village under this chapter.
Whenever a violation of this chapter is alleged to have occurred, any person may file a complaint in regard thereto. All such complaints shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator who may direct that such complaint be properly investigated and a report thereon be made to the Village Board.
