or such other person so designated by the Mayor and Council to change or replace
such incorrect or improper number within 30 days after date of such notice
for residential properties and 90 days after date of such notice for nonresidential

Upon application by the owner of any property in the borough to the Tax Assessor, the Tax Assessor, acting in conjunction with the 911 Coordinator, shall furnish such owner with the correct number of such property. The property owner shall submit a copy of the front sheet of the property's telephone bill within the time periods established pursuant to §

Upon any subdivision of land in the borough resulting in a lot or lots
other than those numbered on the Tax and Assessment Maps, the Tax Assessor

numerical sequence in relation to the numbers assigned to other lots fronting
on the same street; and he shall record the same upon said map and notify
the owner of said property of the numbers so assigned.
