1.16.010 General penalties.

A.    Every act prohibited by the ordinances of this borough is unlawful. Unless another penalty is expressly provided by an ordinance, every person convicted of a violation of any of the ordinances of this borough, or any rule or regulation adopted or issued in pursuance thereof, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or by imprisonment for not more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each act of violation and every day upon which any such violation shall occur shall constitute a separate offense.

B.    The borough or an aggrieved person may institute a civil action against a person who violates a borough ordinance. In addition to injunctive and compensatory relief, a civil penalty not to exceed $1,000 may be imposed for each violation. An action to enjoin a violation may be brought notwithstanding the availability of any other remedy. On application for injunctive relief and a finding of a violation or a threatened violation, the superior court shall grant the injunction as provided in AS 29.25.070(b) or any successor law. Each day that a violation of an ordinance continues constitutes a separate violation. (Ord. 95-02 § 2b, 1995; Code 1986 § 1.24.010)
