This chapter shall be known as the "Address Display Law" of the Town
of Chili.
It is essential that law enforcement, fire and ambulance personnel be
able to locate homes, commercial properties and other buildings without delay
to provide the most effective response to a call for service. The purpose
of this chapter is to provide those emergency personnel in the Town of Chili
with a means to quickly and accurately identify addresses when responding
to such calls for assistance.
The Code Enforcement Officers are hereby declared to be responsible
for the enforcement of this chapter. A notice of violation may be issued to
the owner of each principal building not in compliance with this chapter.
If the owner of a property does not place said street numbers within
120 days after service of a notice of violation, the Code Enforcement Officer
may issue an appearance ticket directing the owner to appear in Town Court
in connection with the alleged commission of a violation of this chapter.
Any violation of this chapter shall constitute an offense punishable
by a fine of not more than $50. The imposition of one penalty for a violation
shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and all such persons
shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects at any such
time. Each separate offense shall constitute a separate additional violation.
It is hereby declared to be the intent of the Chili Town Board that:
A. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provisions
of this chapter invalid, in whole or in part, the effect of such decision
shall be limited to those provisions which are expressly stated in the decision
to be invalid, and all other provisions of the law shall continue to be separately
and fully effective.
B. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the application
of any provision of this chapter to any building, other structure or tract
of land to be invalid, in whole or in part, the effect of such decisions shall
be limited to the person, property or situation involved in the controversy,
and the application of any such provision to any other person, property or
situation shall not be affected.
