(a) Any person found to have violated any provision of this article will be subject to a minimum fine of $100.00 per day per violation to a maximum of $750.00 per day per violation, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies available to the village. Such other remedies include, without limitation, injunctive relief, application to a court of competent jurisdiction for a receiver, demolition, or condemnation, contracting for the repair or purchase of the premises, or foreclosure of any lien the village may have thereon. (b) A separate and distinct offense will be committed each day a person or persons violate the provisions of this article. (c) Nothing in this article will prohibit the village from immediately condemning as provided for in this article a building or taking other immediate action upon a determination that the building is a public nuisance or poses an imminent danger to the occupants of the building, or the public, health, safety and welfare.
Davis Junction Ch. 26 Art. III § 26-218 establishes a daily fine structure for violations of the village's Vacant Building and Property Regulations, ranging from $100 to $750 for each day a violation continues. Each day of non-compliance is treated as a separate offense, meaning fines can accumulate over time. Beyond monetary penalties, the village retains the authority to pursue remedies such as injunctive relief, receivership, demolition, condemnation, or foreclosure of any lien it holds on the property. In cases where a building is deemed a public nuisance or poses an imminent danger, the village may act immediately without waiting for the standard enforcement process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers subject to Davis Junction Ch. 26 Art. III § 26-218 generally maintain vacant buildings and properties in continuous compliance with all article requirements, since fines accrue on a per-day, per-violation basis between $100 and $750. Compliant operators typically address any identified deficiencies promptly to prevent the accumulation of daily penalties and to avoid triggering more severe remedies such as condemnation, receivership, or foreclosure of a village lien. Operators familiar with this provision also recognize that the village may take immediate action—including condemnation—if a property is found to pose an imminent danger or constitute a public nuisance.
