[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this article
shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding under the Pennsylvania
Rules of Criminal Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense and shall
be punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Borough in the enforcement
proceedings. Upon judgment against any person by summary conviction,

under this section, the Borough may enforce this chapter in equity
in the Court of Common Pleas of Schuylkill County.
The enforcement officer of the provisions of this article shall
be the Manager of the Mahanoy Township Authority or such other person
as may from time to time be designated by the Mahanoy Township Authority
so long as that designee is approved by the Council of the Borough
of Mahanoy City.
