Any person or organization who fails to comply with or who violates
this chapter or who shall refuse a reasonable request to inspect any
premises or who shall have aided or abetted the commission of any
such violation shall each be guilty of a separate offense and, upon
conviction thereof, shall be liable to a fine of not more than $50
or to imprisonment for not more than six months, or both. Each week's
continued violation after notice shall constitute a separate offense.
Such notice may be served personally on the offender and owner or
by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the offender
and of the owner and by posting a copy thereof at the premises where
the violation occurs. Such notice shall state when, not less than
20 days after such service, the condition or thing which constitutes
the violation shall be corrected or removed. Proof of any personal
service or of such mailing and posting shall be sufficient proof of
such service, and the date stated therein shall become the first date
of such violation, if continued.
Any person may file a complaint of a violation of this chapter, in
writing, with the Building Inspector/Code Enforcement Officer, who
shall properly record such complaint and immediately investigate and
report thereon to the Board of Trustees.
The Village Attorney, or any aggrieved person, may take such action,
criminal, civil or both, as may be provided by law against any person
or organization who violates or may intend to violate this chapter.
