In case any building or structure or sign is erected, constructed,
reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building,

or of any regulations made pursuant thereto, in addition to other
remedies provided by law, any appropriate action or proceeding may
be instituted or taken at law or in equity by the Borough Council,
the Zoning Enforcement Officer duly appointed by the Borough Council,
or any taxpayer or taxpayers aggrieved to prevent or restrain such
unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair,
