The expense of such proceedings shall be recoverable from the violator in such manner as may now or hereafter be provided by law.

(c) Any person injured by conduct which violates the provisions of section 13  1 may, in addition to any other remedy provided under this act, recover damages caused by such violation from the landowner or other responsible person.
