In addition to other remedies, the Borough may institute and
maintain appropriate actions by law or in equity to restrain, correct
or abate violations or to prevent illegal occupancy of a building,
structure or premises. A description by metes and bounds in the instrument
of transfer or other documents used in the process of selling or transferring
shall not exempt the seller or transferor from such penalties or from
the remedies herein provided.
A. The Borough may refuse to issue any permit, or grant any approval
necessary to further improve or develop any real property which has
been developed or which has resulted from a subdivision of real property
in violation of any ordinance amendment adopted pursuant to this section.
This authority to deny such a permit or approval shall apply to any
of the following applicants:
(1) The owner of record at the time of such violation.
(2) The vendee or lessee of the owner of record at the time of such violation
without regard as to whether such vendee or lessee had actual or constructive
knowledge of the violation.
(3) The current owner of record who acquired the property subsequent
to the time of violation without regard as to whether such current
owner had actual or constructive knowledge of the violation.
(4) The vendee or lessee of the current owner of record who acquired
the property subsequent to the time of violation without regard as
to whether such vendee or lessee had actual or constructive knowledge
of the violation.
B. As an additional condition for issuance of a permit or the granting
of an approval to any such owner, current owner, vendee or lessee
for the development of any such real property, the Borough may require
compliance with the conditions that would have been applicable to
the property at the time the applicant acquired an interest in such
real property and abate all violations noted.
