The regulations established by this chapter

and in conformity with all other pertinent terms and provisions of

In all districts, after the effective date of
this chapter, any existing building or structure and all tracts of
land, the use of which was permitted prior to the enactment of this
chapter and which use subsequent to the enactment of this chapter
is not in conformity with the regulations for the district in which
it is located, shall be deemed as nonconforming and subject to the
appropriate regulations of this chapter governing such nonconforming
lots, uses and structures.
Any building constructed, rebuilt, altered or
located, on or after the effective date of this chapter, in violation
of the restrictions and regulations established for the district in
which it is located or in violation of other pertinent terms or provisions
of this chapter shall be changed, altered, corrected or relocated
by the person who constructed or located such building and by the
