(b) In addition to the penalty provisions of this section, if the enforcement officer or inspector finds that any person has failed to comply with any order issued by him/her within the time specified therein and that such person has failed to appeal such order within the time prescribed, he/she may notify the office of the city attorney who may bring suit to enforce such order. Such suit may be brought in Chittenden Superior Court and at the request of either party, the court shall advance the case so it may be heard and determined with as little delay as possible. The court may issue a temporary restraining order or preliminary or permanent injunction in any such proceedings and may exercise all the plenary powers available to such court to obtain compliance with the ordinance and any order issued pursuant thereto. The court may award costs of suit which may include, if the plaintiff prevails and the court deems the defense without substantial merit, the attorney&rsquo;s fees incurred by the plaintiff or so much thereof as the court finds reasonable.
