The Rockland County Legislature has authorized the installation of an
Emergency 911 system within the county which should reduce the response time
for emergency services in every town and Village throughout the county, resulting
in benefit to the health, safety and welfare of all residents. In order to
accomplish this purpose, the Board of Trustees of the Village of West Haverstraw
recognizes the need to require that all parcels of real property within the
Village be numbered and that the numbers must be conspicuously placed on said
parcels so as to be identifiable for response by emergency services.
The Assessor of the Village of West Haverstraw shall have the authority
to assign numbers to every parcel of real property within the Village. Such
numbers shall be sequential with odd numbers on one side of a street and even
numbers on the other side. In the event that a parcel of vacant real property
is legally able to be subdivided, such parcel shall be allocated as many numbers
as may be necessary to accomplish the purpose of this chapter. All property
owners shall be notified in writing of the number assigned to the property
owned.
Within 30 days after notification that a number has been assigned to a parcel of real property, the owner of said real property or the agent of such owner shall place or cause to be placed on such real property the number or numbers assigned to such real property by the Assessor in the manner provided in §
87-3 of this chapter. Such owner or agent shall be required to maintain the placement of such number or numbers in accordance with such section.
Any owner of real property or the agent of such owner who violates any of the provisions of §§
87-3 and/or
87-4 shall be guilty of a violation and shall be subject to a fine, upon conviction, of not more than $250 or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both. Each day on which such violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
