Applications seeking relief from Chapter 193 of the Village Code by way of change of zones or variance may not be brought before the Board of Appeals, Board of Trustees, Planning Board or Two-Family Review Board after the date of a decision denying an application that affects the same premises and seeks substantially the same relief from the Board(s), for a minimum of two years, absent new evidence which supports a substantial change in circumstances.

In interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, they shall be held to be the minimum requirements for the promotion of the health, safety, morals or general welfare of the Village. It is not intended by this chapter to interfere with or abrogate or annul any Village building code or any rules or regulations adopted or issued thereunder or the rules and regulations of the Board of Health of the Village of Lindenhurst and not in conflict with any of the provisions of this chapter; provided, however, that where this chapter imposes a greater restriction upon the use of buildings or premises or upon the height of the building or requires larger open spaces than are imposed or required by such ordinance, rules and regulations, the provisions of this chapter shall control.

In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building, structure or land is used in violation of this chapter or of any ordinance or regulation made under authority conferred thereby, the proper local authorities of the Village, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alterations, repair, conversion, maintenance or use, to restrain, correct or abate such violation, to prevent the occupancy of said building, structure or land or to prevent any illegal act, conduct, business or use in or about such premises.

Where penalties are not provided for in the specific article, for any and every violation of the provisions of this chapter, the owner, general agent or contractor of a building or premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist and the lessee or tenant of an entire building or entire premises where such violation has been committed or shall exist and the owner, general agent, contractor, lessee or tenant of any part of a building or premises in which part such violation has been committed or shall exist and the general agent, architect, builder, contractor or any other person who knowingly commits, takes part or assists in any such violation shall be liable on conviction thereof to a fine or penalty not less than $25 for each and every offense, and whenever such person shall have been notified by the Inspector or by the service or summons in a prosecution or in any other way that he is committing such violation of this chapter, each day that he shall continue such violation after such notification shall constitute a separate offense punishable by a like fine or penalty. Such fines or penalties shall be collected as like fines or penalties are now by law collected.
