[HISTORY: Derived from Sec. 62 of Ch. IV of the Charter and
Ordinances, 1974, of the City of Buffalo. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Amended 12-9-2003, effective 12-19-2003]
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building in the City
of Buffalo to identify the premises. Buildings shall have address
numbers positioned to be plainly legible and visible from the street
or road fronting the property. These numbers, consisting of Arabic
numerals or alphabet letters, shall contrast with their background
and be a minimum of four inches (102 mm) high with a minimum stroke
width of 0.5 inch (12.7 mm).
[Amended 5-21-1993, effective 5-28-1993]
All lots fronting on any street shall be numbered alternately, with the odd numbers on one side and the even numbers on the other. Each 20 feet, including all cross streets, shall be counted as a number. It shall be the duty of the City Engineer to furnish any owner applying therefor the number or numbers belonging to or embraced within the limits of his lot. Fees for permits or verifications shall be as provided in Ch. 175, Fees.
[Amended 3-18-1997, effective 3-31-1997]
It shall be the duty of the City Engineer and/or the Director
of the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication to see that the provisions
of this chapter are enforced; and they or any person designated by
them for such purpose shall have the authority to determine whether
a particular building is numbered in compliance with the provisions
of this chapter. The Council may authorize the City Engineer to provide
figures to be used in the numbering of buildings and for the sale
of the same at cost to any owner applying therefor. It shall be the
duty of the Police Department to report to the City Engineer and/
or the Director of the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication from
time to time the location of all buildings in the City which are not
numbered in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The principal building or buildings on each lot, and shall
not be deemed to include any minor building. The City Engineer is
hereby authorized to decide which building or buildings on any particular
lot shall be numbered.
[Amended 3-18-1997, effective 3-31-1997]
Any person owning a building within the City of Buffalo refusing
or neglecting for five days after notice from the City Engineer or
the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication to place a number on said
building shall be guilty of a violation of this chapter. Such notice
may be given by personal service or mailing a copy thereof to the
last known address of said owner. In the event of the neglect or refusal
of any such owner, after such notice, to cause said building to be
properly numbered, the City Engineer may cause said building to be
properly numbered; and he shall report the cost thereof to the Common
Council; and the Common Council shall order the Assessors to assess
the cost of the same upon such premises; and the Assessors shall include
the same in the monthly assessment roll as provided in the Charter
of the City of Buffalo.[1]
