[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners of the Township
of North Huntingdon 11-21-1973 by Ord. No. 397 (Ch. 99 of the 1975 Township
Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
All property and existing buildings or structures are, as of
January 1, 1974, assigned new numbers in accordance with the uniform
property numbering system of North Huntingdon Township as hereinafter
set forth. The occupants of each building or structure shall have
one calendar year in which to conform to the new system. Each house
number must be prominently displayed on or adjacent to each building
or structure so that it will be visible for identification from the
street or road.
The basic formula of the North Huntingdon Township property
numbering system shall be as follows: United States Route 30 shall
be the zero meridian for all roads running primarily north and south
and the Westmoreland County Courthouse shall be the zero meridian
for all roads running primarily east and west. The numbering system
shall then be composed of even numbers on the south and west sides
and odd numbers on the north and east sides, with approximately 1,000
numbers reserved for each one mile of lineal road. There are attached
hereto and made part hereof 11 maps designating with particularity
the Township numbering system.[1]

Editor's Note: Said maps are on file in the Township offices.
Any new building or structure requiring an address shall be
given a property or house number by the Code Enforcement Officer upon
issuance of a zoning certificate (building permit). It will further
be the responsibility of the Code Enforcement Officer to notify the
following agencies of newly issued property or house numbers at the
end of each calendar month: Police Department, Rescue Company No.
8, Fire Companies No. 1 through No. 7, Township Treasurer, Tax Collector
and the Planning Commission. The notification to these agencies by
the Code Enforcement Officer shall include adequate identification
of the location so that the number can be accurately plotted on existing
maps.
It shall be the responsibility of the Planning Commission to
maintain the property numbering maps scaled at one inch to 400 feet
as the Commission is notified of the issuing of the property numbers
by the Code Enforcement Officer. The maps shall be updated not less
than once every two months.
All residents of the Township currently using the address of
Irwin, Pa. 15642, shall, as of January 1, 1974, use the address of
North Huntingdon, PA 15642. All such residents shall have one calendar
year in which to conform to the Township property numbering system.
It shall be the responsibility of the Joint Postal Address Commission,
appointed by the Board of Commissioners, to notify all residents of
their new addresses prior to January 1, 1974.
It is the intention of the Board of Commissioners to post all
roads listed on the Official Township Road Map with uniform and proper
identification signs. Posting shall be completed by January 31, 1974.
Any person, firm or corporation who violates the provisions
of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine
of not less than $75 nor more than $600, plus the costs of prosecution,
and in default of the payment of the fine and costs of prosecution,
shall be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 30 days. Each and every
day of noncompliance shall constitute a separate violation.
