of the Zoning Law.
In addition to those penalties authorized by state law, any
person who violates any provision of this zoning chapter shall be
liable for a civil penalty of not more than $200 for each day or part
thereof during which such violation continues. The civil penalties
provided by this subsection shall be recoverable in an action instituted
by the Village of Nassau.
Any violation of the Zoning Law is hereby declared to be an
offense punishable by a fine not exceeding $250 per day where each
day of continued violation shall constitute a separate additional
violation.
An action or proceeding may be instituted by the Village, in
a court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent, restrain, enjoin, correct,
or abate any violation of, or to enforce, any provision of this zoning
chapter. No court action or proceeding shall be commenced without
the appropriate authorization from the Village Board. In particular,
but not by way of limitation, where the construction or use of a building
or structure is in violation of any provision of this zoning chapter,
or any stop-work order, compliance order or other order obtained under
this zoning chapter, an action or proceeding may be commenced in the
name of the Village, in the Supreme Court or in any other court having
the requisite jurisdiction, to obtain an order directing the removal
of the building or structure or an abatement of the condition in violation
of such provisions.
