Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate any provision
of this Part, or fails to comply therewith, or with any of the requirements
thereof or the rules and regulations adopted hereunder, upon conviction
thereof in an action brought before a magisterial district judge in
the manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under
the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, shall be sentenced to
pay a fine of not less than $300 nor more than $5,000 plus costs,
including reasonable attorney fees incurred by the Township, and,
in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment
to the extent permitted by law for the punishment of summary offenses.
A separate offense shall arise for each day or portion thereof in
which a violation of this Part is found to exist and for each section
of this Part found to have been violated. The Township may also commence
appropriate actions in equity or other to prevent, restrain, correct,
enjoin, or abate violations of this Part. All fines and penalties
collected for violation of this Part shall be paid to the Township
Treasurer. The initial determination of ordinance violation is hereby
delegated to the Township Manager, the Police Department, the Code
Official, the authorized designee of the Township Manager, and to
any other officer or agent that the Township Manager or the Board
of Supervisors shall deem appropriate.
