(a) This chapter may be enforced by the Code Enforcement Officer and/or any Borough Police Officer.
(b) If the violator is a tenant or occupant of the premises, an agent or employee thereof, or a contractor of the owner, such person shall also be subject to such penalties for violation or noncompliance.
(c) Whenever the enforcement officer is advised of a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, such officer shall cause a printed notice of such violation to be handed to the violator, left upon or affixed to the premises where such violation occurred, or mailed to the address of the property in question or the address to which tax bills are mailed for such property. The notice shall bear the date, the time and the nature of the violation, the fine prescribed therefor and a reference to this chapter.
(d) Notices of violations shall be made out in quadruplicate. One copy shall be left with or mailed to the person notified or at the premises involved, one copy shall be delivered to the Borough Manager and the remaining two copies are for the use of the person who served the notice and of the Magisterial District Justice who may hear the case.
(e) Whoever receives such a notice of violation shall, within ten days, pay a penalty not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00), such fine to be set by annual resolution of Borough Council. Payment shall be made as directed on the notice of violation and the violator shall be furnished with an official receipt therefor, which shall constitute an admission of the violation charged but shall not excuse a continuing violation.
(f) When a person has been notified in the manner set forth in this chapter and does not avail himself or herself of the penalty provision of subsection (e) hereof, a citation or summons shall be issued for such violation. Upon conviction on such summons or citation before the Magisterial District Justice, the penalty provided for in Section 202.99 may be imposed in addition to or in lieu of any other remedy contained in this chapter or provided by law. If the person named in the citation or summons fails to appear on the date specified therein, a warrant may be issued for his or her arrest.
(g) In addition to the penalty provided in Section 202.99, the Borough shall have all other remedies available at law and in equity.
