This chapter shall be enforced by the Board
of Trustees who may make any rules and regulations necessary in connection
therewith.
In interpreting and applying the provisions
of this chapter, such provisions shall be held to be the minimum requirements
for the promotion of the health, safety, morals and/or the general
welfare of the Village. It is not the intent by this chapter to interfere
with or abrogate or annul any rules or regulations adopted and/or
issued thereunder, or the rules and regulations of the Department
of Health of the County of Nassau; provided, however, that where this
chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of a building or
premises or upon the height of a building, or required larger open
spaces than are imposed or required by such code, rules and regulations,
the provision of this chapter shall control.
In case any building or structure is erected,
constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained
or any hedge, tree, shrub or other growth is maintained, or any building,
structure or land is used in violation of this chapter, or of any
regulations made pursuant thereto, in addition to other remedies provided
by law, any appropriate action or proceeding whether by legal process
or otherwise, may be instituted or taken to prevent such unlawful
erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, conversion,
maintenance or use, to restrain, correct or abate such violation,
to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure or land, or to
prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such
premises.
