Whenever the Board of Health certifies to the Solicitor any failure to comply with any order or notice of vacation, with the request that civil proceedings for the enforcement thereof be instituted, or when the village Building and Zoning Inspector certifies to the Solicitor the existence of any abated nuisance after a citation relating to such nuisance has been provided to the owners, lessees, or persons having control of the premises or property and such persons have failed to comply or show cause as to why compliance has not been made, the Solicitor shall institute any and all proceedings, either legal or equitable, that may be appropriate or necessary for the enforcement of the order, citation, or notice and the abatement of the nuisance against which the order, citation, or notice was directed. These suits or proceedings shall be brought in the name of the village. Proceedings under this section shall not relieve any party defendant from criminal prosecution or punishment under this code or any other criminal law or ordinance in force within the village.
