[Amended 1-22-1997 by Ord. No. 265; 4-20-2016 by Ord. No. 408]
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated
or permitted the violation of any provision of this chapter, upon
being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced
by the Township, shall pay a judgment of not more than $600, plus
all court costs. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied
or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by a
Magisterial District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely
appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant
to the applicable rules of civil procedure, at which time, in addition
to any penalties, the violator shall be liable for any attorneys’
fees and costs incurred by the Township. Each day that a violation
continues or each section of this chapter which shall be found to
have been violated shall constitute a separate violation.
