By virtue of the power and authority conferred by the statute, in such
case made and provided (N.J.S.A. 40:67-1j, as amended), a system of numbering
all buildings and lots of land in this municipality is hereby adopted.
All dwelling houses, stores or other buildings erected within the Borough
of Stanhope shall be numbered in conformity with the street numbers on the
Tax and Assessment Maps of the borough filed in the office of the Tax Assessor
of the Borough of Stanhope.
The owner of any dwelling house, store or other building incorrectly
or improperly or insufficiently numbered shall be notified in writing, by
the Tax Assessor or such other person so designated by the governing body,
to change or replace such incorrect or improper number or to affix a number
where one is lacking within 10 days after the date of such notice.
Upon any subdivision or resubdivision of land in the Borough of Stanhope
resulting in a lot or lots other than those numbered on the Tax and Assessment
Maps, the Tax Assessor shall, within 30 days after final approval thereof,
assign a number to each lot resulting from said subdivision or resubdivision,
which number shall be in proper numerical sequence in relation to the number
assigned to other lots fronting on the same street, and he shall record the
same upon said map and notify the owner of said property of the numbers so
assigned.
The number so assigned to each building shall be displayed by the owner
or occupant on the front of the building or in the front yard of the lot on
which the same stands in numerals of such size, not less than three inches
in height, and so located as to be clearly visible to persons passing by the
premises on the abutting street.
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued for occupancy of any building
hereafter erected or enlarged unless the provisions of the foregoing section
shall have been complied with.
Upon application by the owner of any property in the Borough of Stanhope
to the Tax Assessor, the Tax Assessor shall furnish such owner with the correct
number of such property.
