Penalties for violations

Any person or corporation, whether as principal, agent, employee or otherwise, who violates any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be fined an amount not exceeding $500.00 for each offense. Each day of the existence of any violation shall be deemed a separate offense.

The erection, construction, enlargement, conversion, alteration, rehabilitation, restoration, moving or maintenance of any building or structure and the use of any land or building which is continued, operated or maintained contrary to any of the provisions of this ordinance, or of any permit, variance, special use permit, or site plan review granted pursuant to this ordinance, is hereby declared to be a violation of this ordinance and unlawful. Immediately upon receiving notice of any such violation, the town solicitor shall institute injunctive, abatement, or other appropriate action to prevent, enjoin, abate, or remove such violation.

The remedy provided for herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies provided by law.

The town solicitor shall serve notice either by personal service or by certified mail, addressed to the premises of such violation, on the person committing or permitting the violation, or on the owner of the property as shown on the latest copy of the town assessment rolls. If such violation does not cease within such time as the town solicitor specifies, but not less than five days, he may petition the proper court of law for the necessary relief required.
