An notice of violation shall be sent by certified mail by the Zoning Officer to any landowner, person, partnership or corporation of such lands where a violation of the provisions of this chapter exists. Such notice shall include:

In case any building, structure, landscaping or land is or is proposed to be erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, graded, maintained or used in violation of the provisions of this chapter, the Board of Supervisors or, with the approval of the Board of Supervisors, an officer of the Township or any aggrieved owner or tenant of real property who shows that his property or person will be substantially affected by the alleged violation, in addition to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such building, structure, landscaping or land or to prevent, in or about such premises, any act, conduct, business or use constituting a violation. When any such action is instituted by a landowner or tenant, notice of that action shall be served upon the municipality at least 30 days prior to the time the action is begun by serving a copy of the complaint on the governing body of the municipality. No such action may be maintained until such notice has been given.

Any landowner, person, partnership or corporation who or which shall violate the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof in a civil judgment, be sentenced to pay a judgment of not less than $200, nor more than $500, plus all court costs and reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Township. In default of payment of the fine(s) or to appeal the judgment in a timely manner, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day the violation continues shall constitute a separate violation, unless it is determined that a good faith basis existed for the violation, in which case there shall be deemed only one violation until the fifth day following the violation; thereafter, each day shall constitute a separate offense.

In addition to the civil enforcement proceeding set forth in the Municipalities Planning Code[1] and § 195-157 of this chapter, the Township may enforce the provisions of this chapter by means of an action in equity commenced in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, or in Commonwealth Court when original jurisdiction is vested with that court. This remedy shall be cumulative with all other remedies available to the Township in law or equity.

The District Justice shall have initial jurisdiction for all proceedings brought for any violation of the provisions of this chapter.

All ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed.
