Such order shall direct the discontinuance of the illegal action or condition and the abatement of the violation.
(B) If the notice of violation is not complied with promptly, the Administrator or his or her designee shall issue a ticket or request the legal counsel to institute the appropriate proceeding at law or in equity to restrain, correct, or abate such violation or to require the removal or termination of the unlawful use of the building or structure in violation of the provisions of this chapter or other village regulations or of the order or direction made pursuant thereto.

Each day that a violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
(D) The fee for anyone initiating erection, installation, alteration, conversion, remodeling, structurally repairing, moving or changing any building or structure, or parts or appurtenances thereof, such as water supply, sewage disposal, plumbing installation and electrical installation prior to obtaining a building permit shall be assessed an additional fee of not less than $250 or twice the amount of the required building permit fee, whichever is greater.
(E) The imposition of the penalties herein prescribed shall not preclude the village from instituting appropriate action to prevent unlawful construction or to restrain, correct or abate a violation, or to prevent illegal occupancy of a building, structure or premises, or to stop an illegal act, conduct, business or use of a building or structure on or about any premises.
