It shall be unlawful for any person, as either owner or manager
of a regulated rental unit for which a license is required, to operate
without a valid, current license issued by the Borough authorizing
such operation. It shall also be unlawful for any person to allow
the number of occupants or a regulated rental unit to exceed the maximum
limit as set forth on the license, or to violate any other provision
of this chapter.
Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter
shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial
District Judge 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. Each day or
portion thereof that such violation continues or is permitted to continue
shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this chapter
that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense.
The registration revocation procedures and penalty provisions
provided in this article shall be independent, non-mutually exclusive
separate remedies, all of which shall be available to the Borough
as may be deemed appropriate for carrying out the purposes of this
chapter. The remedies and procedures in this chapter for violation
hereof are not intended to supplant or replace, to any degree, the
remedies and procedures available to the Borough in the case of a
violation of any other Code or ordinance of the Borough, whether or
not such other Code or ordinance is references in this chapter and
whether or not an ongoing violation of such other Code or ordinance
is cited as the underlying ground for a finding of a violation of
this chapter.
