The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced
by the Building Inspector and Zoning Officer of the Borough. In no
case shall a permit be granted for the use of any lot or for the construction
or alteration of any building or structure where the proposed construction,
alteration or use thereof would be in violation of any provision of
this chapter. It shall be the duty of the Building Inspector and Zoning
Officer and their duly authorized assistants to cause any building
plans for premises to be inspected or examined and to order, in writing,
the remedying of any conditions found to exist in violation of any
provision of this chapter, and they shall have the right to enter
any building or premises during the daytime in the course of their
duties, provided that, except in emergency situations, they have notified
the owner thereof at least 24 hours prior to such entry.
All fees paid to the Building Inspector shall be transmitted
by him at regular intervals to the Borough Treasurer and he shall
maintain a written record of all fees paid to him.
For each and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the owner, contractor or other person or persons interested as lessee, tenant or otherwise in any lot, building, structure or premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist shall be subject to a penalty as provided in §
1-2 of this Code. For each and every day that a violation continues after 10 days' written notice by the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer served either personally or by registered mail, the violator shall be subject to prosecution for separate daily offenses. This provision shall not be construed as requiring the service of notice as prerequisite to prosecution for a single offense.
Whenever a term is used in this chapter which is defined in
the Municipal Land Use Law, such term is intended to have the meaning set forth in
