It shall be the duty of the Zoning Officer to take cognizance of violations of this chapter. He shall investigate each violation which comes to his attention, whether by observation or communication. He shall order, in writing, the correction of such conditions as are found to be in violation of this chapter. Failure to secure a zoning permit or Zoning Hearing Board certificate when required previous to the erection, construction, extension or addition to a building or structure shall be a violation of this chapter.

When written notice of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter has been served by the Zoning Officer on the owner, agent or occupant, contractor or builder, such violation shall be discontinued immediately.

Any person, partnership or corporation, including but not limited to the owner, general agent, contractor, lessee or tenant, who or which shall violate or permit a violation of any provision of this chapter or any other person who commits or takes part or assists in any such violation shall be liable for a judgment of not more than $500 per violation, plus all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Township as a result thereof in a civil enforcement proceeding initiated by a Township official on behalf of the Township before a District Justice. Each day that a violation is continued after notice thereof shall constitute a separate offense, unless the District Justice determining that there has been a violation further determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating this chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of the determination of the violation by the District Justice, and thereafter, each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation. Nothing contained in this section shall limit or restrict the power and authority of the Township to pursue remedies for violation of this chapter in civil proceedings before the Court of Common Pleas.

In case any building or structure is erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, repaired, converted or maintained or any building, structure or land is used or any hedge, tree, shrub or other growth is maintained in violation of this chapter or of any regulations made pursuant hereto, in addition to other remedies provided by law, any appropriate action or proceedings by authorized legal process may be instituted or to prevent such unlawful erection, construction or 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.

Fees for all use and occupancy and zoning permits and other actions shall be in accordance with a fee schedule adopted by a resolution by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors shall adopt by resolution a fee schedule setting forth the charges to be made payable in advance for each appeal, special exception or variance requested and for Zoning Hearing Board certificates, duplicate copies of applications, certificates of district classification, certificates of occupancy and duplicates thereof.
