land is, or is proposed to be, erected, constructed, reconstructed,
altered, converted, maintained or used in violation of this chapter,
and any amendment thereto or prior enabling laws, the Township, the
Zoning Officer of the Township, or any 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

by serving a copy of the complaint on the Board of Supervisors of
Clinton Township. No such action may be maintained until such notice
has been given.
