The purpose of this chapter is to promote public
safety and convenience through a building numbering system ensuring
that addresses can be identified with the ease and speed essential
to the quick response of emergency services, such as firefighting,
police and emergency medical care.
It shall be the duty of the owners of all residential,
commercial, and other buildings within the Town of Clinton to identify
such buildings or parts thereof with numbers as herein provided. It
shall be unlawful for any person to place, maintain, or allow to remain
on a building or any unit thereof any number other than the one required
by this chapter.
Whenever the Board of Selectmen, acting in accordance
with this chapter, shall have assigned an identification number or
numbers to a building, it shall send to the owner thereof written
notice thereof and shall direct such owner to affix to such building
the number or numbers assigned, to be completed within 30 days after
the sending of such notice.
It shall be the duty of the owner of every building
existing on the effective date of this chapter, without prior notice,
to affix the identification number previously assigned to such building
or, in the absence of such assignment, the identification number which
customarily has been used for such building. Such numbers shall be
affixed within 30 days of the effective date of this chapter.
Every owner of a building who violates §
241-4 or
241-5 hereof, or who refuses or neglects to comply with any other provision of this chapter, shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $10 and not more than $100.
