Any and every violation of this chapter and failure to comply with an order to remedy violation after service thereof pursuant to § 120-75E hereof shall constitute disorderly conduct, and the owner, agent and/or contractor of a building, structure, premises, lot or land and the lessee or tenant of an entire building, structure, premises, lot or land where such violation has been committed or shall exist or an owner, lessee, tenant, contractor, agent or other person who uses or maintains or permits or causes to be used any building or premises for any purpose other than the uses permitted therefor in this chapter, or who otherwise violates any provisions of this chapter, shall be a disorderly person, punishable in accordance with the provisions of the Penal Law of the State of New York and, in addition, shall be liable to a penalty established by resolution by the Village Board of Trustees. Each day the violation continues following the period specified to remedy or correct same in the order to remedy violation served pursuant to § 120-75E hereof shall constitute a separate and distinct violation.
B.
In addition to the foregoing, where it has been found, after trial,
that said violation creates a hazardous condition which is dangerous
to life, health or safety of the residents of the Village, then, upon
failure by the owner of the premises, or any person charged with the
care and maintenance of the building or premises or of the work being
performed, to remove the same or to correct the same violation within
the time limit set by the judge presiding at the trial for said violation,
then the Village of Greenwood Lake, through its employees or authorized
agent, may enter upon said premises, after 24 hours' notice of
its intention to do so, in writing mailed to the address of the owner
stated in the assessment rolls and tacked on the main door entranceway
to said premises, and perform the work required to remove said hazardous
condition and charge the cost thereof involved in removing said violation
to the owner of the premises where the same exists. A bill for such
cost shall be mailed by the Village Clerk to the last named address
of said owner as provided in the assessment roll of the Village. If
said bill is not paid within 30 days, then the same shall become a
lien against the premises, together with interest thereon at the rate
of 6% per annum, which lien shall be collectible in the same manner
as for default in payment of taxes.
C.
In addition to the foregoing remedies, a violation of any of the
provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to be constructive eviction
of any tenant occupying the same, except when said violation has been
caused or created by said tenant or other occupant, in which case
said tenant or occupant shall be subject to eviction and civil damages
by the landlord.

Any violation of this chapter may also be enjoined pursuant to law.
