No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the District Justice.

All judgments, costs and reasonable attorney fees collected for the violation of this chapter shall be paid over the Zoning Officer, payable to the Township of Ridley.
C. 
The Court of Common Pleas, upon petition, may grant an order of stay, upon cause shown, tolling the per diem fine pending a final adjudication of the violation and judgment.
D. 
Nothing contained in this section shall be construed or interpreted to grant to any person or entity other than the Township of Ridley the right to commence any action for enforcement pursuant to this section.
E. 
The description of such lot or parcel by metes and bounds in instrument of transfer, or other document used in the process of selling or transferring, shall not exempt the seller or transferor from such penalties or from the remedies herein provided. The Township may also enjoin such transfer or sale or agreement by action for injunction brought in any court of equity jurisdiction, in addition to the penalty herein provided.
