[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
The purpose of this Article shall be to require the clear display
of house and building numbers from public streets for all properties
that contain principal buildings within the Village in order to assist
the general public or the authorities in identifying any property
in case of an emergency, as well as for the welfare of the general
public in conducting its normal affairs.
[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
This Article shall apply to all properties within the Village
that contain a principal building thereon, whether or not said building
is occupied. Such premises shall bear and display at least one set
of house numbers, which shall be assigned by the Village Building
Inspector. Buildings facing two or more public roadways shall be required
to display auxiliary numbers, if necessary, to pass the visibility
test (as hereinafter set forth) when viewed from those points in the
center line of the public roadway opposite those points where regularly
used pedestrian or vehicular passageways enter the public roadway.
[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
Existing numbers used on premises as of June 1, 1991, which
essentially comply with numbers officially assigned by the Village
Building Inspector, at least to the extent that such number or numbers
assigned to properties on either side which are located on the same
side of the street, shall be considered as bearing the correct number
or numbers for the purposes of this Article.
[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
Existing installations as of June 1, 1991, which essentially
meet the requirements and/or spirit of this Article, including numbers
presently on or attached to a mailbox, shall be deemed to be in compliance
without further alteration, provided that any alteration or replacement
of said installations shall be in conformance with this Article.
[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
The absence of house or building numbers or the insecure fastening
or absence of any integer thereof or the use of any number out of
logical sequence for the street toward which it faces or the failure
of a number to meet the elevation requirement or the visibility requirements
shall be considered a violation of this Article. Failure on the part
of the property owner to comply with the provisions of this Article
within a period of 15 days from the date of issuance of a notice of
violation shall be sufficient cause for the Village Building Inspector
to proceed with carrying out the provisions of this Article and assess
any costs incurred to the property owner concerned, with a minimum
charge of $50 for each property in violation.
[L.L. No. 3-1991, § 1]
The final authority for determining and assigning the number
or numbers to be used upon particular property shall be the Village
Building Inspector of the Village of Tuckahoe, such authority being
delegated to the Village Building Inspector by the Board of Trustees
pursuant to § 4-412 of the Village Law.
