A. Notices. Whenever the Floodplain Administrator or other authorized municipal representative determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provisions of this Part, or of any regulations adopted pursuant thereto, the Floodplain Administrator shall give notice of such alleged violation as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) Include a statement of the reasons for its issuance;
(3) Allow a reasonable time, not to exceed a period of 30 days, for the performance of any action it requires;
(4) Be served upon the property owner or his agent as the case may require; provided, however, that such notice or order shall be deemed to have been properly served upon such owner or agent when a copy thereof has been served with such notice by any other method authorized or required by Pennsylvania law;
(5) Contain an outline of remedial actions which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this Part.
B. Penalties. Any person who fails to comply with any of the requirements or provisions of this Part or who fails or refuses to comply with any notice, order of direction of the Floodplain Administrator or any other authorized representative of the City shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall pay a fine to the City of Reading, in accordance with the provisions of § 600-206. In addition to the penalties all other actions are hereby reserved including an action in equity for the proper enforcement of this Part. The imposition of a fine or penalty for any violation of, or noncompliance with, this Part shall not excuse the violation or noncompliance or permit it to continue and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations and noncompliance within a reasonable time. Any development initiated or any structure or building constructed, reconstructed, enlarged, altered, or relocated, in noncompliance with this Part may be declared by City Council to be a public nuisance and abatable as such.
