It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector,
Zoning Officer or other such duly authorized representative of the
local governing body, and he is hereby given the power and authority,
to enforce the provisions of this chapter. The Enforcement Officer
shall require that the application for a building permit contain all
information necessary to enable him to ascertain whether the proposed
building, alteration or use is located in an approved subdivision.
No building permit shall be issued until the Enforcement Officer has
certified that the site for the proposed building, alteration or use
complies with all the provisions of this chapter and conforms to the
site description as indicated on the approved and recorded final plat.
[Amended 2-14-1977 by Ord. No. 965; at
time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person, partnership or corporation who or
which has violated the provisions this chapter shall, upon being found
liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by a municipality,
pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all court costs, including
reasonable attorney fees incurred by the municipality as a result
thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable
until the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial
District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the
judgment, the municipality may enforce the judgment pursuant to the
applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues
shall constitute a separate violation, unless the Magisterial District
Judge determining that there has been a violation further determines
that there was a good-faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation
violating the chapter to have believed that there was no such violation,
in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation
until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation
by the Magisterial District Judge, and thereafter, each day that a
violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
