(A) Penalties for violation. Violation of the provisions of this chapter or failure to comply with any of its requirements, including violations of conditions and safeguards established in various sections of this chapter, shall constitute a misdemeanor. Any person who violates this chapter or fails to comply with any of its requirements shall upon conviction thereof be fined not more than $100 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, builder, contractor, agent or other person who commits, participates in, assists in, or maintains such violation may 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.
(B) 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 chapter or any amendment thereto, the Village Council, the Village Solicitor, the Zoning Administrator or any adjacent or neighboring property owner who would be especially damaged by such violation may, in addition to other appropriate action, enter proceedings to prevent, enjoin, abate or remove such unlawful location, erection, construction, reconstruction, enlargement, change, maintenance or use.
(C) Remedies cumulative. The exercise of the rights and remedies granted in this section shall 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 state law.
