Enforcement (Abington Condominium Conversions)
Operative Text
Any person violating any provision of this Bylaw, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than $25 for each offense. Each one-day period that willful violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
Chapter 35, Section 35-7 of Abington's Code of Bylaws establishes a financial penalty for violations of the bylaw's provisions. A conviction can result in a fine of up to $25 per offense, and when a violation is willful and ongoing, each additional day it continues is treated as a distinct, separately punishable offense. This structure means that prolonged noncompliance can result in accumulating fines over time.

Operators who identify a potential violation generally act promptly to correct it, since delays can multiply the number of chargeable offenses. Staying current with the bylaw's requirements and conducting regular self-audits are practices commonly associated with compliant property management.
