1. The village board of any village
  or the town board  of  any  town,  as  the  case  may  be,  in  which  a
  residential  or  residential  and recreational area has been established
  pursuant to this article, in which the use of buildings, structures  and
  land for any industrial or commercial purpose is prohibited, restricted,
  regulated  or  controlled,  or  in  which  the  use  of  all  buildings,
  structures and land is limited to use for one or two family  residential
  purposes,  or  to  use  for one or two family residential and non-profit
  recreational purposes may provide by such ordinance or local law for the
  enforcement thereof.
    2.  In  the  event  that  any  building,  structure  or  land  in  any
  residential or residential and recreational area is used in violation of
  any ordinance or local law applying to such area, the board, in addition
  to  other  remedies,  may  institute  or authorize an official, officer,
  employee or agent of the village  or  town,  as  the  case  may  be,  to
  institute  any appropriate action or proceeding to prevent such unlawful
  use, to restrain, correct or abate such violation or to prevent or abate
  any illegal act, conduct, business or use in, on or about such premises.
  All issues in any action or proceeding for any of  the  purposes  herein
  stated   shall   have  preference  over  all  other  civil  actions  and

  situate within the area wherein such violation exists may institute such
  action or proceeding at their own expense in like manner as  such  board
  or  an official, officer, agent or employee authorized by the village or
  town board, as the case may be, is authorized to do.
