A. 
Upon the discovery of any violation under the terms of this chapter, the Borough shall, through its authorized agents, issue a ticket and assess a fine to the owner of a violation hereunder, either by personal delivery to such owner, by United States mail directed to the last-known address of such person or persons, as shown in the real estate registry records of the municipality, or by posting the same on the premises where such violation occurs.

If such person shall, within seven days after the delivery, mailing or posting of such notice, pay to the Treasurer of the municipality the sum of $15 for the initial violation, the same will constitute full satisfaction for the violation noted in said notice.
