For any and every violation of any provision of this chapter, the Borough may exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

A. 

Any person who violates or permits a violation of this chapter shall, upon conviction in a summary proceeding brought before a Magisterial District Judge under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, be guilty of a summary offense and shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payment thereof, the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days. Each day or portion thereof that such violation continues or is permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and each section of this chapter that is violated shall also constitute a separate offense.

B. 

Upon notice to the person violating this chapter, by certified mail, return receipt requested, to abate the nuisance, and upon failure of such person to do so within a period of 10 days from the date of the receipt of said notice, the Borough shall take such steps as are necessary to abate the nuisance, and charge said person violating the chapter with all costs thereof, together with a collection fee of 10%, or file a municipal claim against said person, together with a collection fee of 10%, or by an action of assumpsit without the filing of a claim.

C. 

Institute proceedings in any court of equity having jurisdiction to abate the nuisance.
