[Amended at time of adoption of Code]
The Chief of Police of Franklin is hereby designated as the
911 Coordinator for the Borough of Buena. The 911 Coordinator shall
be responsible to enforce this chapter and to update the Street Address
Map and list with the Municipal Engineer from time to time in order
that said map may be kept current.
The owner, occupant or lessee of every occupied building in
the Borough of Buena, whether residential, commercial or industrial,
or whether designated for any other use, which now fronts or which
may hereafter front upon any public or private street within the Borough
of Buena shall, at his or her own expense, within 90 days after the
effective date of this chapter, cause the authorized and assigned
number of each occupied building to be permanently and conspicuously
placed in accordance with the specifications set forth in this chapter.
Building numbers required by this chapter shall be determined
by the Municipal Engineer or by the 911 Coordinator. Every owner,
occupant or lessee of an occupied building which is constructed in
the Borough of Buena shall receive a 911 number from the Tax Collector
of the Borough of Buena which shall be included with tax bills which
are mailed after the adoption of this chapter. Any person who does
not receive a house number as provided for in this chapter shall apply
to the 911 Coordinator for a number in order to comply with the requirements
of this chapter.
Any occupied building which is erected, repaired, altered, modified
or subject to any change of use or change of occupancy after the effective
date of this chapter shall have the certificate of occupancy withheld
until permanent and proper numbers have been affixed. For purpose
of this chapter, an "occupied building" shall be one in which human
beings live or work or which may be used by one or more persons for
social, residential or commercial purposes. Storage sheds, detached
garages or similar-type facilities which are accessory to the primary
use on a property shall not be required to have separate numberings
pursuant to this chapter.
A list entitled "Street Address List of the Borough of Buena"
is hereby adopted by reference with this chapter and shall be amended
from time to time by the 911 Coordinator or the Borough Engineer in
order to keep said street address list and the Street Address Map
current. Said map shall be the official street map for the identification
and location of all buildings in the Borough of Buena which shall
be numbered pursuant to this chapter. A copy of said map and list
shall be kept on file with the Borough Clerk.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code]
Any person who fails to comply with the numbering requirements of this chapter after receiving a warning from the 911 Coordinator, and any person found guilty of vandalizing or removing house numbers which are posted in accordance with the requirements of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to such penalties as set forth in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
III, of this Code.
