(A) Any person violating any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99 of this code of ordinances.
(B) (1) Violation of any provision of § 50.01 shall subject the offender to a civil penalty in the amount of $500, to be recovered by the village. Violators shall be issued written notice of violation which must be paid within 72 hours after receipt of said notice. If the violator does not pay the penalty within 72 hours, the village may recover such penalty and all subsequently accruing penalties in a civil action.
(2) Each act committed in violation of § 50.01 shall be considered a separate and distinct offense. Each day’s continuing violation shall be a separate and distinct offense.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing remedies, § 50.01 may be enforced by appropriate equitable remedies issuing from a court of competent jurisdiction.
(4) Violation of § 50.01 shall not be a misdemeanor.
(5) In the event it is necessary for the village to institute a civil action to collect a civil penalty for the violation of any provision of § 50.01, the offender shall pay all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by the village.

(C) Upon the issuance of a notice of violation or citation, the Village Manager may suspend any other permits or approvals issued to the violator, including the issuance of a stop-work order, until such time as the violation is cured and any civil penalty paid. An active appeal of the violation to the appropriate village authority shall operate as a stay of the suspension of the permits and approvals, unless the Village Manager determines that allowing the work to continue would constitute a danger to health, life, safety, or property.
(D) In the event there is an outstanding penalty amount or unresolved violation of this chapter, the village may require the violation to be remedied as a condition for the issuance of any subsequent permit or approval.
