to again inspect the property for violations.
A.
Any person violating any provision of this chapter will be subject
to a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $2,000 for the
first offense, unless the violation is addressed and corrected within
10 days of the discovery of the violation, in which case the fine
may be reduced to $500 for the cost of the required inspection and
reinspection, and imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days for
each separate violation.
B.
In addition to the penalties in § 181-10A, any person violating the provisions of this chapter will be liable to any displaced tenant or occupant of an illegal dwelling unit for the costs of relocation up to an amount equal to six times the monthly rental that would have been paid by the displaced person pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1g(a), and will be liable for a fine to be paid to the municipality of up to an amount equal to six times the monthly rental paid that would have been paid by the displaced person, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2A:18-61.1g(c) or a minimum of $1,500.
C.
For second and subsequent violations for an illegal dwelling unit,
