(a) Unless another Section of the Planning and Zoning Code contains its own specific penalty provision, this Section applies. The first violation of the provisions of the Planning and Zoning Code or failure to comply with any of its requirement shall constitute a minor misdemeanor. Upon conviction thereof, any person may be fined not more than one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00), and in addition shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case.
(b) If the same violation occurs a second time within one year of the first violation, the offense shall constitute a misdemeanor of the Fourth Degree and upon conviction the fine shall be not more than two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) and/or imprisonment for not more than thirty (30) days, and in addition the offender shall pay all costs and expenses involved in the case.
(c) Each day any such violation continues after receipt of a violation notice shall constitute a separate offense. The owner of any building, structure, premises, or part thereof, and any 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.
