A. Except as otherwise set forth, any person found to be in violation of any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) and not to exceed seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) per day per violation. Each day that a violation continues after due notice has been served shall be deemed a separate offense. Prosecution under this section is a remedy cumulative to any and all other remedies at law and equity, including but not limited to the remedies provided in the Bartlett municipal code, and/or under any applicable state statutes. Such remedies include but are not limited to, injunctive relief application to a court of competent jurisdiction for a receiver, demolition, or condemnation, contracting for the repair or purchase of the property, or foreclosure of any lien the village may have thereon. The village may enforce this chapter utilizing administrative hearing procedures as provided in section 9-25-16 and title 1, chapter 15, of the Bartlett municipal code, or at the village's election by filing an appropriate action in the circuit court of Cook County, Illinois; in the circuit court of the 18th judicial circuit, DuPage County, Illinois; or in the circuit court for the 16th judicial circuit, Kane County, Illinois.
B. All fees, costs, or charges assessed or incurred by the village pursuant to this chapter shall be a lien upon the real property. The lien shall be superior to all subsequent liens and encumbrances. The director shall file a notice of lien within two (2) years after such cost and expense is incurred in the office of the applicable county recorder of deeds. The lien may be enforced by proceedings to foreclose, such as in the case of mortgage and mechanic's liens. (Ord. 2020-56, 6-16-2020)
