It shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer and any duly authorized assistants to enforce the provisions of this chapter and to enforce any determination of the Zoning Board of Appeals and/or the Planning Board.

Any person may file a complaint if there is any reason to believe a violation of this chapter exists. All such complaints shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Village Clerk's office or Code Enforcement office. The Code Enforcement Officer shall record such complaint and investigate. Upon investigation and determining that a violation exists, a notice of such violation shall be served, and if such violation has not ceased within the reasonable time as the Code Enforcement Officer has specified in such notice, an appearance ticket to Geneseo Village Court shall be issued.

Any person violating any provision of this chapter or who shall violate or fail to comply with any order or regulation made hereunder or who shall build in violation of any statement, specification or plan submitted hereunder or who shall violate any permit or certificate of occupancy issued hereunder or who shall continue to work upon any structure after service of notice in writing from the Code Enforcement Officer of the municipality to desist therefrom shall be guilty of an offense, as defined in the Penal Law of the State of New York, and shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine not to exceed $250 for each offense. The continuation of an offense against the provisions of this article shall constitute, for each day the offense is continued, a separate and distinct offense hereunder. Service of the notice shall be sufficient if directed to the owner, agent of the owner or the contractor and left at his or her last known place of business or residence, if within the municipality, and if no place of business or residence be found, then the notice shall be served by posting in a conspicuous place on the premises which are the subject of the violation.

From the date of initial violation notice, each day of continued violation shall be considered a separate and distinct offense.

Nothing contained in this chapter shall preclude the municipality or its agents from seeking such other relief as may be lawful in order to compel adherence to the terms of this chapter and otherwise enforce the same.
