(a) In the event the public nuisance is not abated by the date set forth in the notice, or if an extension date has been given by the Village Zoning Inspector or by the Village Council, then by such date, the owner and occupant shall be guilty of a minor misdemeanor and each day of nonabatement shall constitute another offense. It shall be an affirmative defense under this subsection that the particular defendant did not have the authority to correct the nuisance or did not know of the nuisance.
(b) The Village Zoning Inspector may proceed to have the nuisance abated and the total cost shall be collected by either a civil suit or certification of such total cost to the County Auditor for placement upon the tax duplicates.
(c) The Village Zoning Inspector may enforce this chapter by injunction brought in the Court of Common Pleas of Williams County.
