[Adopted 5-26-1975]
[Amended 6-19-2006 by Ord. No. 914-06]
For violation of any provisions of this chapter,
any other chapter or any other ordinance of the Borough where no specific
penalty is provided regarding the section violated, the maximum penalty,
upon conviction, shall be a fine not exceeding $2,000 or imprisonment
for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both.
Except as otherwise provided, each and every
day in which a violation of any provision of this code or any other
ordinance of the Borough exists shall constitute a separate violation.
The maximum penalty stated, in the general penalty
clause of this article, is not intended to state an appropriate penalty
for each and every violation. Any lesser penalty, including a nominal
penalty or no penalty at all, may be appropriate for a particular
case or a particular violation.
The governing body may prescribe that, for the
violation of any particular Code provision or ordinance, at least
a minimum penalty shall be imposed which shall consist of a fine which
may be fixed at an amount not exceeding $100.
