Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision of
this Part 2A shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a
fine of not less than $50 nor more than $300, together with the costs
of prosecution, or to imprisonment for a term not to exceed 30 days.

to be removed, the costs of such removal will be charged in addition
to any fines or penalties.
2.
Notice and Payment of Violation. Upon the discovery of any violation
under the terms of this Part, the municipality shall, through its
authorized agents, give notice to the owner of a violation hereunder,
either by personal delivery to such owner, by United States mail directed
to the last-known address of such person or persons, as shown in the
real estate registry records of the municipality, or by leaving the
same on the premises where such violation occurs.
3.
If such person shall, within seven days after the delivery, mailing
or leaving of such notice, pay to the Treasurer of the municipality
the sum of $25 for the violation, the same will constitute full satisfaction
for the violation noted in said notice. If two or more violations
are issued for the same property during a calendar year, the second
and subsequent violations' payment shall increase an additional $25
per subsequent violation to a maximum of $300. The failure of such
person to make payment, as aforesaid, within seven days shall render
such owner subject to the penalties as provided hereinabove.
