Violation constitutes offense. A violation of
this chapter is hereby declared to be an offense, punishable by a
fine not exceeding $250 or imprisonment for a period not to exceed
15 days, or both. However, for the purposes of conferring jurisdiction
upon courts and judicial officers, violations of this chapter shall
be deemed misdemeanors, and, for such purpose only, all provisions
of law relating to misdemeanors shall apply to such violation. Each
week's continued violation shall constitute a separate violation.
In case any building or structure is erected,
constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted or maintained, or any
building, structure or land is used, or any land is divided into lots,
blocks or sites in violation of this chapter, the proper local authorities
of the Town, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate
action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction,
reconstruction, alteration, conversion, maintenance, 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 premises.
