A. Failure to comply with any provision of this chapter or to secure a building/zoning permit prior to the erection, construction, extension, alteration or addition to a building or failure to secure a certificate of use and occupancy for the use or change of use or occupancy of structures or land shall be a violation of this chapter.
B. Enforcement notice. The enforcement notice shall contain the following information:

(1) The name of the owner of record and any other person against whom the Borough intends to take action;
(2) The location of the property in violation;
(3) The specific violation with a description of the requirements that have not been met, citing in each instance the applicable provisions of this chapter;
(4) The date before which the steps for compliance must be commenced and the date before which the steps must be completed;
(5) That the recipient of the notice has the right to appeal to the Zoning Hearing Board within a prescribed period of time in accordance with procedures set forth in this chapter; and
(6) That failure to comply with the notice within the time specified, unless extended by appeal to the Zoning Hearing Board, constitutes a violation, with possible sanctions clearly described.

C. Any person, partnership, or corporation who or which has violated or permitted the violation of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil enforcement proceeding commenced by the Borough, pay a judgment of not more than $500, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred by the Borough as a result thereof. No judgment shall commence or be imposed, levied or be payable until the date of the determination of a violation by the Magisterial District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Borough 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 Magisterial District Judge, 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 Magisterial District Judge, and thereafter, each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. All judgments, costs and reasonable attorney fees collected for the violation of this chapter shall be paid over to the Borough.
D. The court, 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.
E. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed or interpreted to grant to any person or entity other than the Borough the right to commence any action for enforcement pursuant to this section.
F. In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building or structure or land is used in violation of this chapter or of any ordinance or other regulation made under authority conferred hereby, the Borough Council or, with the approval of the Borough Council, the Zoning Officer or other proper official, in addition to other remedies, may institute in the name of the Borough any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, conversion, maintenance or use, to prevent the occupancy of any building, structure or land, or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use that constitutes a violation.
