[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Glenolden 6-8-1908 by Ord. No. 109, approved 6-8-1908.
Amendments noted where applicable.]
For the purpose of obtaining a uniform system of numbering, it is assumed
that Chester Avenue runs north and south and that Ashland Avenue runs east
and west. Chester Avenue shall be the dividing line north and south and Ashland
Avenue the dividing line east and west.
The numbering will be by blocks or squares, each succeeding block or
square advancing 100 in numbers without regard to the numbers in the preceding
block. The even numbers will be placed on the south and west sides of the
streets and the uneven numbers on the north and east sides. Numbers will be
based on a frontage of 25 feet for each number, unless it shall be found necessary
to vary this on account of circumstances.
All dwellings and other buildings throughout the Borough must be numbered
by the owners thereof in accordance with the above provisions. The numbers
must be put up securely and maintained in such position as to be plainly visible
from the sidewalk in front of the building.
[Amended 12-9-1982 by Ord. No. 867,
approved 12-9-1982]
All buildings must be numbered as above provided, and any person or
persons neglecting or refusing to place the proper numbers on his or her property
within 10 days after the delivery of written notice to the premises or the
posting of written notice thereon will be subject to a fine of not less than
$5 nor more than $25, provided that, upon the owner's neglect or refusal
to place the proper numbers on a building as herein provided, the Borough
shall provide for the numbering of the building, and the owner shall be liable
for the expense thereof, in addition to being subject to the fine herein provided.
