[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town of Bedford 7-11-1990. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
Every dwelling, building, or structure, whether it is residential,
commercial or industrial (whether existing on the date of adoption
of this chapter or which may exist in the future) located in the Town
of Bedford shall be required to have a number(s) posted upon such
dwelling, building, or structure or upon the property which is under
construction or such improvements exist, so as to be plainly visible
from the street which abuts the main entrance to such property.
When such posting of a number(s) results in numbers which are
not readily visible from the street year-round, an additional number
shall be posted at the main driveway entering onto the property from
a public road. Such posted number(s) shall be at such a height level
and in an area where the number(s) will not be obstructed by trees,
brush, snow banks, parked vehicles, or any other material.
This number, which represents the legal address as assigned
by the Town of Bedford, shall be a minimum of four inches in height
and shall be Arabic numerals or block style letters.
Every dwelling, building, or structure that houses more than
one living unit or business section shall also post appropriate unit
number(s) or letter(s) for each separate living unit or business section,
so as to be plainly visible in the main entrance to such unit or section
of the main dwelling, building, or structure.
No dwelling, building, or structure shall be issued a certificate
of occupancy until the assigned number(s) have been posted in accordance
with this chapter.
The owner of any dwelling, building, or structure who shall
fail to post such number(s) within 30 days after notice from the Town
Manager, or his or her duly authorized agent, shall be fined not more
than $25 for each day that the number(s) is not posted.
