A. 
If before final subdivision approval has been granted, any person transfers or sells or agrees to transfer or sell, except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned on final subdivision approval, as owner or agent, any land which forms a part of a subdivision for which City approval is required by this chapter pursuant to the Municipal Land Use Law,[1] such person shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $1,000, and each lot disposition so made may be deemed a separate violation.

Editor's Note: See N.J.S.A. 40:55D-1 et seq.
B. 
In addition to the foregoing, the City may institute and maintain a civil action:
(1) 
For injunctive relief; and
(2) 
To set aside and invalidate any conveyance made pursuant to such contract of sale if a certificate of compliance has not been issued in accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:55D-56. In any such action the transferee, purchaser or grantee shall be entitled to a lien upon the portion of the land, from which the subdivision was made that remains in the possession of the developer or his assigns or successors, to secure the return of any deposits made or purchase prices paid and also a reasonable search fee, survey expense and title closing expense, if any. Any such action must be brought within two years after the date of the recording of the instrument of transfer, sale or conveyance of said land or within six years, if unrecorded.
C. 
Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, any person that shall violate this chapter or do any act or thing prohibited or refuse or fail to do any act or thing required to be done or refuse or fail to comply with an order of the Zoning Administrative Officer or an order of the Board of Adjustment shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to one or more of the following: a fine not exceeding $1,000; imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days; or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days. Whenever such person shall have been officially notified by the Zoning Administrative Officer or by the service of a summons in a prosecution or in any other official manner that he is committing a violation, each day's continuance of such violation after such notification shall constitute a separate offense punishable by a like fine or penalty.
