On or after the passage and approval of this
chapter, it shall be the duty of each and every owner, trustee, lessee,
agent and occupant of each and every house, building or other structure
in Chadds Ford Township to cause the same to be numbered in accordance
with this chapter, and the List and Plan hereby adopted and approved.
The Township Board or any officer or employee
of the Township designated thereby for the purpose is hereby authorized
to give written notice, by personal service or by United States mail,
to the owner or occupant, as the case may be, of any premises whereupon
the address identification number at the premises is not posted as
required by the provisions of this chapter, directing and requiring
such owner or occupant to post the address identification number so
as to conform to the requirements of this chapter within 15 days after
issuance of such notice. In case any owner, owners or occupants shall
neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice within the period
of time stated herein, the Township authorities may post a street
number on the premises and collect the cost thereof, together with
any additional penalty authorized by law, from such owner, owners
or occupant in the manner provided by law.
Any person who violates or permits a violation
of this chapter shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil
enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township before a Magisterial
District Judge, pay a fine of not more than $600, plus all court costs,
including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by the Township in
the enforcement of this chapter. No judgment shall be imposed until
the date of the determination of the violation by the Magisterial
District Judge. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the
judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable
Rules of Civil Procedure. Each day a violation exists shall constitute
a separate offense. Further, the appropriate officers or agents of
the Township are hereby authorized to seek equitable relief, including
injunction, to enforce compliance herewith.
