1.
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which has violated
or permitted the violation of the provisions of this chapter shall,
upon being found liable in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced
by the Borough, pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all court
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Borough
as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied
or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the
District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals
the judgment, the Borough may enforce the judgment pursuant to the
applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues
shall constitute a separate violation unless the District Justice
determines otherwise as prescribed by the MPC.
2.
The Court of Common Pleas, upon petition, may grant an order of stay,
upon cause shown, tolling the per-diem fine pending a final adjudication
of the violation and judgment.
3.
Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed or interpreted
to grant to any person or entity other than the Borough the right
to commence any action for enforcement pursuant to this chapter.
4.
In the event any building, structure or land is or is proposed to
be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained
or used in violation of this chapter of the Code, or in case any land,
building or structure for which a use and occupancy permit is required
is conveyed or possession otherwise transferred to a bona fide purchaser
or lessee without obtaining such certificate of occupancy and delivering
the same to such bona fide purchaser or lessee at or prior to conveyance
or transfer of possession, whichever first occurs, Borough Council,
in addition to other remedies, may institute in the name of the Borough
any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct
or abate such building, structure or land or the conveyance thereof,
or to prevent in or about such premises any act, conduct, business
or use constituting a violation.
