Whenever, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer after proper examination and inspection, there appears to exist a violation of any provision of this chapter or of Chapter 53 (Building Construction and Fire Prevention) or of any rule, regulation or condition adopted or imposed pursuant thereto, he shall serve a written notice of violation on the person or corporation committing or permitting the same. Such notice may be served personally or by certified mail addressed to the premises where such violation exists or by posting a copy of the same upon said premises. The notice of violation shall set forth:

If such violation does not cease within such time as the Code Enforcement Officer may specify, he shall institute such of the actions hereinafter set forth as may be necessary to terminate the violation.

The Code Enforcement Officer may extend the date of compliance called for in a notice of violation after written application if, in his opinion, there is reasonable evidence of intent to comply and that reasonable conditions exist which prevent compliance by the specified date.

On reinspection following the expiration of the date of compliance as specified in the notice of violation or as extended in accordance with § 171-116, if the remedial action specified has not been carried out and there is still in existence, in the opinion of the Code Enforcement Officer, a violation of a provision of this chapter, or of Chapter 53, then the Code Enforcement Officer shall immediately institute appropriate legal action to restrain, prevent, enjoin, abate, remedy or remove such violation and to take whatever other legal action is necessary to compel compliance with the Village Zoning, Building Construction and Fire Prevention Codes.

The Code Enforcement Officer is authorized to issue appearance tickets in Village Justice Court for any violation of the Village Zoning Code or any violation of the Building and Fire Prevention Codes.
