The Rockland County Legislature has authorized
the installation of an E-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 Spring Valley 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 Spring Valley shall have 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 §
85-3 of this chapter. Such owner or agent shall be required to maintain the placement of such number or numbers in accordance with such section.
[Amended 4-11-1995 by L.L. No. 1-1995]
Any owner of real property or the agent of such
owner who violates any of the provisions of this chapter shall be
guilty of a violation and shall be subject to a fine not to exceed
$5,000 and/or imprisonment not to exceed 15 days for each such violation.
Each day on which such violation continues shall constitute a separate
violation.
