The Village retains the authority to pursue additional legal remedies beyond these fines to enforce compliance with the chapter.

Property owners and managers operating in the Village of Mark should be aware that § 24-22 imposes daily fines between $100 and $1,500 for each violation of Chapter 24's human relations requirements. Because every day of a continuing violation counts as a separate offense, costs can accumulate quickly, making prompt correction of any identified noncompliance a standard practice among compliant operators. The Village also reserves the right to pursue other legal enforcement actions alongside or instead of monetary penalties.
