of the owner or lessee shall be presumed to have been at the direction
or authority of the owner and/or lessee, and shall further be subject
to a civil penalty against such owner and/or lessee in the amount
of $1,000 per day for each day that such stop-work order is violated.
The Village Attorney is hereby authorized to initiate such proceedings
as he deems necessary to enforce any stop-work order, or to recover
such civil penalties as are warranted in the circumstances.
