A. In addition to any other remedy or penalty specified for a violation of any particular provision of this article, any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon a finding of guilty, be subject to a fine for each offense as set forth in appendix A, division III of this code; and a separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
B. In addition to any fines, fees, or costs, the village may seek a permanent or temporary injunction, restraining order, the appointment of a receiver or such other legal or equitable remedies as may be available.
C. Nothing in this article shall prevent the village from taking any action available under chapter 21 of this code or any other applicable regulation. Further, nothing in this article shall prevent the village from taking any emergency action permitted by law when any portion of a multi-family rental structure is a danger to person or property.
D. The failure to pay outstanding fees or judgments may result in a lien upon the real property or such other remedies as may be available by law, including the denial of the issuance or renewal of licenses or permits pursuant to section 23.1820 of this article. The lien shall be subject to the following:
1. The director shall file a notice of lien in the office of the Cook County recorder of deeds within two (2) years after such fees are billed;
2. The lien shall be superior to all subsequent liens and encumbrances;
3. Upon payment of the fees and costs of lien by the owner or responsible party after notice of lien has been filed, the village shall release the lien; and
4. The lien may be enforced by proceedings to foreclose, as in the case of mortgages or mechanics' liens. (Ord. 3366, 9-6-1983; amd. Ord. 4868, 6-17-1997; Ord. 5189, 5-15-2001; Ord. 5619, 3-6-2007; Ord. 5745, 6-16-2009; Ord. 5807, 8-3-2010; Ord. 5896, 12-20-2011)
