Whoever violates any provision of this Zoning Code or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) or imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both, and in addition, shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case. Each day such violation continues, after receipt of a violation notice shall be considered a separate offense. The owner or tenant of any building, structure, premises, or part thereof, and any architect, engineer, builder, contractor, agent, or other person who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains such violation may each be found guilty of a separate offense and suffer the penalties herein provided. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Village from taking such other lawful action as is necessary to prevent or remedy any violations.
(a) Civil Action. In case any building is or is proposed to be located, erected, constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, changed, maintained, or used or any land is or is proposed to be used in violation of law or of this Zoning Code or any amendment thereto, Council, Law Director, the Responsible Authority, or any adjacent or neighboring property owner who would be especially damaged by such violation may, in addition to other appropriate action, enter proceeding or proceedings to prevent, enjoin, abate, or remove such unlawful location, erection, construction, reconstruction, enlargement, change, maintenance, or use.
(b) Remedies Cumulative. The exercise of the rights and remedies granted in this Zoning Code and the provisions of this section hall in no way preclude or limit the Village or any person from exercising any other right or remedy now or hereafter granted to them under the laws of the Village or the State of Ohio.
