(a) Failure to correct the conditions in violation with the provisions of this Planning and Zoning Code, as ordered by the Zoning Administrator, shall constitute a misdemeanor. Upon conviction of such violations, the responsible person or party shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) or imprisoned for not more than six months or both. Each day such violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense. Any other person, who commits, participates in or assists in the continuation of said violation may each be found guilty of a separate offense and suffer the penalties provided.
(b) The following additional penalties shall apply to violations against the Subdivision Regulations set forth in Title Three of this Planning and Zoning Code:
(1) Whoever violates any rule or regulation set forth in this Planning and Zoning Code for the purposes of setting standards and requiring and securing the construction of improvements within a subdivision, or fails to comply with any order pursuant thereto, shall forfeit and pay not less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) nor more than one thousand ($1,000.00). Such sum may be recovered with costs in a civil action brought in the Court of Common Pleas by the City Attorney.
