Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code — See Ch. 55.
There is hereby established a uniform system of numbering in
the Village of Dannemora and all streets, avenues and public ways
in the Village of Dannemora and all houses and buildings shall be
numbered in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
A.
The numbering for each street shall begin at the south end of the
streets running north and south, and on the east end of streets running
east and west.
B.
All lots and houses on the north and west side of all streets shall
be numbered with odd numbers, and on the south and east side of all
streets shall be even numbers.
C.
Buildings fronting on two or more streets shall have a number assigned
to the entrance.
A.
The Village Board shall cause the necessary survey to be made and
there shall be assigned to each house and building located on any
street, avenue or public way in said Village its respective number
or numbers.
B.
When the said survey shall have been completed and each house and
building has been assigned its respective number or numbers, the owner,
occupant or agent shall place or cause to be placed upon each house
or building controlled by him the number or numbers assigned to the
building. The cost of the number shall be paid for by the property
owner and the number may be procured from the Village Clerk at the
unit price for the same, such price to be the cost of such units to
the Village. The numbers used shall not be less than 2 1/2 inches
in height.
C.
The numbers shall be conspicuously placed immediately above or on
the side of the proper door on each building so that the number can
be plainly seen from the street. Whenever any building is situated
more than 50 feet from the street line, such number shall be placed
near the walk, driveway or common entrance to such building and upon
a gatepost, fence, tree, post or other appropriate place so as to
be easily discernible from the street.
For the purpose of facilitating a correct numbering, a Village
map of all streets, avenues and public ways within the Village showing
the proper numbers of all lots or houses fronting upon all streets,
avenues or public ways shall be kept on file in the office of the
Village Clerk.
It shall be the duty of the Village Clerk to inform any party
applying therefor of the number or numbers belonging or embraced within
the limits of each lot or property as provided in this chapter. In
case of doubt as to the proper numbers to be assigned to any lot or
building, the Clerk shall determine the number of such lot or building.
Whenever any house, building or structure shall be erected or
located in the Village of Dannemora after the entire work of establishing
a uniform system of house numbering has been completed, the owner
or occupant of such building or structure, in order to preserve the
continuity and uniformity of numbers as designated from the Village
Clerk for the said property, shall immediately fasten the said number
or numbers so assigned upon said building as provided by this Chapter.
It shall be the duty of the police officer of the Village of
Dannemora to report violations of any provision of this chapter.
If any owner, occupant or agent of any building required to
be numbered by this chapter shall neglect for the period of 20 days
to duly attach and maintain the proper numbers on such building, the
Village Clerk shall cause to be served upon such owner, occupant or
agent a notice requiring such owner, occupant or agent to properly
number the same, and if the person so served neglects to so for 10
days after this service of such notice, such neglect shall constitute
an offense punishable, upon conviction thereof, by a fine of not more
than $250 or imprisonment for not more than 15 days, or both, and
each day's continuation of a violation shall constitute a separate
offense.
