The Council of the Borough of Fair Lawn finds
that residents and property owners of the borough would be more effectively
and efficiently served by its Police and Fire Departments, its rescue
squad, its Department of Public Works and by similar municipal services
if readily visible house and building numbers were affixed to all
such structures in the municipality.
The Engineering Department shall develop and
maintain maps indicating street names and house numbers. Such maps
shall be distributable to all municipal departments having need for
same.
Within 90 days after the passage of this chapter,
each party required to comply with this chapter shall cause house
numbers to be posted, conforming to this chapter. Nonconforming house
numbers or other identification need not be removed, provided that
numbers that comply are also posted. It shall be the duty of the Construction
Official to notify, by posting on the doorway and by ordinary mail,
the owners and occupants who fail to comply with the provisions of
this chapter. If not corrected within 15 days from such notification,
the parties so notified shall be charged with violation of this chapter
by service of summons issued by and returnable before the Municipal
Court.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to the penalty stated in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
