Section 719. Violations and penalties

Whenever there shall be a violation
  of this article, an application may be made by the attorney  general  in
  the  name  of  the people of the state of New York to a court or justice
  having jurisdiction to issue an  injunction,  and  upon  notice  to  the
  defendant  of  not  less  than  five  days,  to  enjoin and restrain the
  continuance  of  such  violations;  and  if  it  shall  appear  to   the
  satisfaction  of  the  court or justice that the defendant has, in fact,
  violated this article, an injunction may be  issued  by  such  court  or
  justice,  enjoining  and  restraining  any  further  violation,  without
  requiring proof that any person has, in fact, been  injured  or  damaged
  thereby.  In  any  such proceeding, the court may make allowances to the
  attorney general as provided in paragraph  six  of  subdivision  (a)  of
  section  eighty-three hundred three of the civil practice law and rules.
  In connection with any such proposed application, the  attorney  general
  is  authorized  to  take  proof and make a determination of the relevant
  facts and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil  practice  law
  and rules.
