The provisions of this article shall be administered and enforced
by the Property Maintenance Inspector of the Township of Berlin. It
shall be the duty of the Property Maintenance Inspector to receive
and investigate any and all complaints which are reported to him in
writing either by the Mayor and Township Council or by the general
public. The Property Maintenance Inspector shall, in writing, order
the abating or remedying of any condition found to exist in violation
of any provisions or requirements of this article.
The Property Maintenance Inspector shall have the right to enter
on or upon any lands and premises during the daytime in the course
of his duties.
When written notice of a violation has been served by the Property
Maintenance Inspector upon the person or persons, firm or corporation
in possession of said lands and premises, such violation shall be
discontinued immediately.
If, in the discretion of the Property Maintenance Inspector,
the person or persons, firm or corporation violating the provisions
of this article genuinely intends to abate or remedy the prohibited
condition existing on the lands and premises, he may grant an extension
of 10 days in which the prohibited conditions may be abated or remedied.
The extension of time shall be given to the person or persons, firm,
corporation in writing, setting forth the date upon which the prohibited
condition must be abated or remedied.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation that shall violate
this article or any of its provisions shall, upon conviction, be punished
either by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not exceeding
90 days or by a fine not exceeding $500, or both, in the discretion
of the court. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to
continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable
as such under this article.
