Any person who, without authorization from the Village Clerk, changes or amends, by additions or deletions, any part or portion of the Code of the Village of Lake Grove or who alters or tampers with such Code in any manner whatsoever which will cause the legislation of the Village of Lake Grove to be misrepresented thereby or who violates any other provision of this Code shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of not more than $1,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or to both such fine and imprisonment.
[Amended 3-2-2000 by L.L. No. 2-2000]
All offenses herein are violations unless specifically designated a misdemeanor with a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year. Any reference to penalties in a specific section of this Code supersedes this general penalty section.
Each week that an offense, pursuant to Chapter 125, Zoning, shall be permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense subject to prosecution. Each day that an offense, pursuant to all other chapters of this Code, shall be permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense subject to prosecution.
Personal attendance required. Any person or entity charged with an offense under this Code must answer the charge personally or, in the event of a corporation, by corporate counsel. No pleas will be accepted by mail without the explicit permission of the Village Prosecutor and the Village Justice. This requirement shall not apply to parking violations.
"Violation of this Code" shall mean:
Doing an act which is prohibited or made or declared unlawful or an offense or misdemeanor by this Code.
Failure to perform an act which is required to be performed by this Code.
Failure to perform an act if the failure is declared an offense or unlawful by this Code.
"Violation of this Code" does not include the failure of a village official or employee to perform any official duty unless this Code specifically provides that failure to perform the duty is to be punished as provided in the specific section defining the offense.
The imposition by the court of a specific penalty for an offense will not prevent revocation or suspension of a license, permit or franchise. Furthermore, the imposition by the court of a specific penalty for an offense does not void any obligations of the property owner, or other party designated responsible by this Code, to pay previously incurred permit fees or costs associated with the administration of this Code.
Upon consent of the owner of property which is the subject of an action before the court, any fine imposed shall constitute a lien which may be collected in the same manner as and payable together with the real property taxes imposed by the Incorporated Village of Lake Grove against said property.
