§ 92.99. PENALTY.


Latest version.
  • (A) General. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this chapter, or who fails to comply with any of its terms, or who violates or fails to comply with any order made thereunder, or who fails to comply with any permit or certificate issued thereunder, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $500, or imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or both. The imposition of a penalty for a violation shall not excuse the violation or be considered a permit to allow the violation to continue. Each day that a prohibited condition is maintained shall constitute a separate offense. The application of the above penalty shall not be held to prevent the enforced removal of prohibited condition(s) or the obtaining of injunctive or other civil relief.
    (B) Additional remedies. Any violation of this chapter shall constitute a nuisance per se, and the Township Board of Trustees, its agents or attorneys, may take action in any court of competent jurisdiction to cause the abatement of such nuisance, and may seek redress for any expenses incurred by the township in extinguishing a fire resulting from violation of this chapter. These remedies are in addition to those set forth in division (A) above.
