Each day that such a violation continues to exist shall be considered as a separate offense.
(c) Any person aggrieved by a violation or apparent violation of the provisions of this title may file a written complaint with the zoning enforcement officer, who shall immediately investigate such complaint and take legal action to have the violation penalized or removed, if such violation is found to exist.
(d) In addition to any other remedies, the board may institute any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent, restrain, enjoin, correct, remove or abate any violation of the provisions of this title, to prevent the occupancy of any building, structure or land which is erected, maintained or used in violation of this title, or to prevent any legal act, conduct, business or use in or about such premises.
