A.
All building code ordinances or other code ordinances or portions
of ordinances which were adopted by Manheim Township on or before
July 1, 1999, and which equal or exceed the requirements of the UCC
and the International Ordinances incorporated therein shall continue
in full force and effect until such time as such provisions fail to
equal or exceed the minimum requirements of the UCC or the International
Ordinances incorporated therein, as amended from time to time.
B.
All building code ordinances or portions of ordinances which are
in effect as of the effective date of this chapter and whose requirements
are less than the minimum requirements of the UCC or the International
Ordinances incorporated therein are hereby amended to conform with
the comparable provisions of the UCC.
In the event any person fails to comply with provisions of this
chapter, the Building Code Official may institute proceedings before
a Magisterial District Judge for failure to comply therewith. Any
person found guilty of violating the provisions of this chapter shall
be subject to pay a fine not exceeding $1,000 plus costs. Each day's
violation will constitute a separate offense. Failure to pay any such
fines will subject the violator to imprisonment for a period not to
exceed 30 days. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Building
Code Official from filing a nontraffic citation against a person for
violations of this chapter.
In the event any provision, section, sentence, clause or part
of this chapter shall be held invalid, illegal or unconstitutional
by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality
or unconstitutionally shall not affect or impair the remaining provisions,
sections, sentences, clauses or parts of the chapter, it being the
intent of the Board of Commissioners that the remainder of the chapter
shall be and shall remain in full force and effect.
