regarding the section or sections violated, the maximum penalty upon conviction
shall be one or more of the following: a fine not exceeding $2,000 or imprisonment

If the Township of Manalapan chooses to impose a fine in an amount
greater than $1,250 upon an owner for violations of housing or zoning code
regulations herein Manalapan shall provide a thirty-day period in which the
owner shall be afforded an opportunity to cure or abate the condition and
owner shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing before the Municipal
Court for an independent determination concerning the violation within said
thirty-day period. Subsequent to the expiration of the thirty-day period,

of any provisions of this chapter or any other ordinance of the Township exists
shall constitute a separate violation.
