B.
In case any building, structure, landscaping or land is, or is proposed
to be, erected, constructed, reconstructed, altered, converted, maintained
or used in violation of this chapter, the Borough Council, or, with
the approval of the Council, an officer of the Borough, or an aggrieved
owner or tenant of real property who shows that his property or person
will be substantially affected by the alleged violation, in addition
to other remedies, may institute any appropriate action or proceeding
to prevent, restrain, correct or abate such building, structure, landscaping,
or land or to prevent, in or about such premises, any act, conduct,
business or use constituting a violation. When any such action is
instituted by a landowner or tenant, notice of that action shall be
served upon the Borough at least 30 days prior to the time the action
is begun by serving a copy of the complaint on the Borough. No such
action may be maintained until such notice has been given.
