In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building or structure is used in violation of this chapter or any regulations made pursuant thereto, the proper Township authorities, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceedings to prevent such unlawful erection, construction, reconstruction, alteration, 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.

Any person who shall violate this chapter or do any act or thing prohibited or refuse or fail to do any act or thing required to be done or refuse or fail to comply with an order of the Zoning Officer or an order of the Board of Adjustment shall, upon conviction thereof before any judicial officer authorized to hear and determine the matter, forfeit and pay such fine not exceeding the sum of $1,000 as shall be imposed by such judicial officer in his discretion or, if the party so convicted is a natural person, such judicial officer shall have the power, in his discretion, to impose sentence of both fine and imprisonment not exceeding the maximum limits hereinbefore fixed. Whenever such person shall have been officially notified by the Zoning Officer or by service of a summons in a prosecution, or in any other official manner, that he is committing a violation, each day's continuance of such violation after such notification shall constitute a separate offense punishable by a like fine or penalty.
