(a) Whoever, being the owner or agent of the owner of any land within or without the Village, willfully transfers any lot, parcel or tract of such land from or in accordance with a plat of a subdivision before such plat has been recorded in the office of the County Recorder or waived as provided in Section 1224.06(d), shall be fined not less than ten dollars ($10.00) or more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each lot, parcel or tract of land so sold. The description of such lot, parcel or tract by metes and bounds in the deed of transfer shall not serve to exempt the seller from the penalty provided in this section.
If such land is within the Village, such sum may be recovered in a civil action brought in any court of competent jurisdiction by the Village Solicitor in the name of the Village and for the use of the Street Repair Fund thereof.
The sale of lots, parcels or tracts from a plat of a subdivision on which any and all areas indicated as streets or open grounds are expressly indicated to be for the exclusive use of the abutting or other owners in such subdivision and not public streets, ways or grounds, shall not serve to exempt the seller from the requirements of this chapter or from the penalty herein provided.
(b) Whoever violates any of the provisions of this chapter for which no penalty is otherwise provided shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). A separate offense shall he deemed committed each day during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
