In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building, structure or land is used in violation of the Municipal Land Use Law[1] or this chapter, the Borough Council, Building Inspector or his duly assigned representative or an interested party, 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 commit, take part in or assist in any violation or who shall knowingly maintain any building or premises in which any violation of this chapter shall exist may, upon conviction thereof, for each and every violation, be fined not exceeding $500 or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both, in the discretion of the Court. Each day that a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense.

The Municipal Court is expressly vested with jurisdiction over the determination of violations hereunder and the imposition of the penalties therefor.
