avenue or alley.
All streets, avenues or alleys running north and south from
Lincoln Avenue shall be numbered consecutively, the even numbers on
the right side of the street, avenue or alley and the uneven numbers
on the left, beginning with one and two at Lincoln Avenue.
All streets running north and south from Lincoln Avenue which
do not connect with Lincoln Avenue shall be given, as far as is possible,
a number corresponding with the numbers on the nearest parallel street
extending north or south from Lincoln Avenue.
In all numbering, a number shall be given for every 20 feet
of frontage.
[Adopted 8-7-1990 by Ord. No. 90-14]
On and after the passage of this Article II, it shall be the duty of each and every owner, trustee, lessee, agent and occupant of each and every house, building or other structure in the Borough of Bellevue to cause the same to be numbered in accordance with Article I and the system and plan thereby adopted and approved.
A.
The numbers shall be placed in a conspicuous place on every house,
building or other structure in a conspicuous manner so that said numbers
can be readily seen and read from the sidewalk in front of said building
and in full view from the opposite side of the street. The numbers
shall be Arabic numbers and shall be of metal or enamel, at least
three inches in height. If the numbers are of enamel, the colors shall
be in contrast with the immediate background.
B.
It shall be unlawful to cover any house number with any sign, drapery
or other obstruction tending to conceal such number, and all old numbers
shall be removed from any house, building or other structure when
a new number has been assigned and when so notified by the Director
of Administrative Services.
Owners of property where the house number now in use falls on the lot described in the deed or deeds upon which the house, building or other structure is erected shall not receive new numbers; provided, however, that in case of future building on the lot new numbers will be assigned in accordance with the 20 feet spacing as provided in § 184-5.
A.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation who shall number or attempt to number any house, building or other structure contrary to Article I and the plan therein approved and adopted or who shall alter, deface, remove or destroy any number required to be displayed by this Article II shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 30 days.
B.
Any person or persons, firm or corporation who shall fail or neglect
to change or erect their house or building number in accordance herewith
within 30 days after formal notification in writing by the Director
of Administrative Services shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to
pay a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $1,000 plus costs and,
in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment
not to exceed 30 days. Each day that a violation of this chapter continues
shall constitute a separate offense.
