ARTICLE XIII

Subdivision Penalties and Civil Actions

§ 270-103 Sale or transfer of land prior to final subdivision approval.

If before final subdivision approval has been granted any person transfers or sells or agrees to transfer or sell, except pursuant to an agreement expressly conditioned on final subdivision approval, as owner or agent, any land which forms a part of a subdivision for which Borough approval is required pursuant to this chapter, such person shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $1,000, and each lot disposition so made shall be deemed to be a separate violation.

§ 270-104 Civil actions.

A. 
In addition to the foregoing, the Borough may institute and maintain a civil action:
(1) 
For injunctive relief; and
(2) 
To set aside and invalidate any conveyance made pursuant to such a contract of sale, if a certificate of compliance has not been issued in accordance with this chapter.
B. 
In such action, the transferee, purchaser or grantee shall be entitled to a lien upon the portion of the land from which the subdivision was made that remains in the possession of the developer or his assigns or successors to secure the return of any deposits made or purchase price paid and also reasonable search fees, survey expense and title closing expense, if any. Any such action must be brought within two years after the date of recording of the instrument of transfer, sale or conveyance or within six years if unrecorded.
