[Amended 7-5-2006 by Ord. No. 3-2006]
For violation of any provision of this chapter, any other chapter of this revision, or any other ordinance of the Borough where no specific penalty is provided regarding the section violated, the maximum penalty, upon conviction, shall be a fine not exceeding $1,250, or imprisonment for a period not exceeding 90 days, or both (N.J.S.A. 40:49-5).
Except as otherwise provided, every day in which a violation of any provision of this chapter or any other ordinance of the Borough exists shall constitute a separate violation.
The maximum penalty stated in this article is not intended to state an appropriate penalty for every violation. Any lesser penalty, including a nominal penalty or no penalty at all, may be appropriate for a particular case or violation.
The Borough Council may prescribe that, for the violation of any particular Code provision or ordinance, at least a minimum penalty shall be imposed which shall consist of a fine which may be fixed at an amount not exceeding $100 (N.J.S.A. 40:49-5).
