[Amended 11-7-2005[1]]
Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter and/or
any amendments thereto, including failing to file required reports,
filing inaccurate, untimely or incomplete reports, failing to apply
for an occupancy permit or any other violation herein, 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, or by proceedings
by summons on default of the payment of the fine or penalty imposed
and the costs, the defendant may be sentenced and committed to the
county correctional facility for a period not exceeding 30 days. Each
day that such violation exists shall constitute a separate offense,
and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also constitute
a separate offense. In addition to or in lieu of enforcement under
this section, the Borough may enforce this chapter in equity in the
Court of Common Pleas of Washington County.
