[Amended 10-19-1998 by Ord. No. HR-278]
A.
Any person, partnership or corporation who or which
has violated the provisions of this chapter, upon being found liable
therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township,
shall pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all court costs,
including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the municipality as
a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied
or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the
District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals
the judgment, the municipality may enforce the judgment pursuant to
the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation
continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless the District
Justice determining that there has been a violation further determines
that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation
violating this chapter to have believed that there was no such violation,
in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation
until the fifth day following the date of the determination of a violation
by the District Justice, and thereafter, each day that a violation
continues shall constitute a separate violation.
B.
The Court of Common Pleas, upon petition, may grant
an order of stay, upon cause shown, tolling the per diem judgment
pending a final adjudication of the violation and judgment.
C.
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed
or interpreted to grant to any person or entity other than the municipality
the right to commence any action for enforcement pursuant to this
section.
