[Amended 11-9-1992 by Ord. No. 14-92]
Except as may be provided by New Jersey statute or elsewhere in this chapter, each and every violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $2,000, by imprisonment in the county jail for a term not to exceed 90 days and/or a period of community service not to exceed 90 days, at the discretion of the Municipal Court. Each day the violation shall continue after a notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct or remedy the violation shall constitute a separate violation. In the event the court wishes to impose a fine in an amount greater than $1,250 upon an owner of real property for violations of housing or zoning codes of the Borough, then and in that event a thirty-day grace period shall be provided to said owner in order to cure or abate the violative condition, and said owner shall also be afforded an opportunity for a hearing before a court of competent jurisdiction for an independent determination concerning said violation. Subsequent to the expiration of the thirty-day period, a fine greater than $1,250 may be imposed if a court has not determined otherwise or, upon reinspection of the property the court determines that the abatement has not been substantially completed.
