A. 
The violation of any provision of this chapter is hereby deemed a public nuisance. The Township is hereby authorized to enter upon private property and take all measures necessary to abate a deemed public nuisance, and collect all costs of enforcement, including attorneys' fees, under this chapter. It shall be unlawful for any person, owner, agent or person in possession of any premises to refuse to allow the Township or designated contractor to enter upon the premises for the purposes set forth above. The costs incurred by the Township to abate a public nuisance, including attorneys' fees, shall be a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a municipal lien on the property for the amount of the assessment plus a penalty of 10% of the assessment.
B. 
For each violation of the provisions of this chapter, the developer, owner, agent, lessee, or contractor or any other person who commits, takes part in, or assists in any such violation shall commit a criminal offense and shall, upon being found guilty by a Magisterial District Judge, after hearing, pay a fine not to exceed $1,000, together with all court costs as permitted by law. In default of payment thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation continues or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense, and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense, which shall be subject to prosecution as such.
C. 
The Township may also institute any other actions, suits or remedies available at law or in equity to restrain, prevent, or abate a violation of this chapter. Such proceedings may be initiated before any court of competent jurisdiction. In cases of emergency where, in the opinion of the court, the circumstances of the case require immediate abatement of the unlawful conduct, the court may, in its decree, fix a reasonable time during which the person responsible for the unlawful conduct shall correct or abate the same. The expense of such proceedings, including attorneys' fees, shall be recoverable from the violator in such manner as may now or hereafter be provided by law.

The Zoning Officer may also send a violation notice pursuant to and compliant with requirements of Chapter 255, Zoning, or Chapter 208, Subdivision and Land Development, and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, and the violator shall additionally be subject to the penalties prescribed therein.
