A. Title. This section shall be known and may be cited
and referred to as the "House Numbering Ordinance of the Village of
Lake Success."
B. Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to require
the clear display of authorized and assigned house or building numbers
on every building fronting on any street in the village in order to
assist the general public and emergency services, public and private,
in identifying any property in case of emergency or otherwise.
C. Applicability. All residential, commercial, industrial
or other structures erected or to be erected within the village shall
display identification numbers as provided herein and in accordance
with specifications provided herein.
D. Definitions. As used in this section, the following
terms shall have the meanings indicated:
BUILDING
The principal building or buildings on each lot, excluding
any minor building or accessory structures.
E. Determination and assignment of building numbers.
Building numbers shall be determined and assigned by the Village Building
Inspector. The owner of any structure requiring a house number for
which structure such a number has not been assigned as of the effective
date of this section will be notified by the village when such number
is assigned to said structure.
F. Display required. It shall be the duty of every owner
of a building in the village to cause to be displayed thereon the
street number of said building and at all times to maintain such number
in compliance with the provisions of this section.
G. Size and display of numbers.
(1) The Arabic numerals comprising the number to be displayed
on a building shall be at least three inches in height and shall be
placed on the front of said building in a prominent and conspicuous
place and in such manner as to be plainly legible and visible, including
being appropriately lit between sunset and sunrise, from the center
of the street at all times. The color of said figures shall be in
sharp contrast to the color of their background. The "front" of a
building shall be construed as that side of the building which faces
the street, and the requisite number or numbers shall be displayed
on the side of such building or premises which faces the street.
[Amended 8-11-2008 by L.L. No. 2-2008]
(2) The numbers shall be so placed that they will not
be obstructed by trees, shrubbery, porches or other extensions of
the building.
(3) Said number shall be placed near some light or source
of illumination so that it may be readily seen at night.
(4) Where the building upon which the number is to be displayed is more than 75 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whether improved or not, of the street or road serving the building, the number shall, in addition to the other requirements of this chapter, be displayed in a manner readily visible from the road or street and in no event further back than 25 feet from said road or street right-of-way. Numbers may be displayed upon a post, rod or other type of fixture of substantial nature or a mailbox at or near the frontage, and so located as to ensure that the number is conspicuous and visible from the street in accordance with Subsection
(1) above.
H. Certificates of occupancy. Any structure erected,
repaired, altered or modified after the effective date of this section
shall have the certificate of occupancy withheld until it is assigned
a house number and said number is affixed to said structure in accordance
with this section.
I. Designation of numbers; review of determination.
(1) The Building Inspector shall designate separate numbers
for buildings which have no designated street number, and he or she
shall also have the authority to redesignate numbers for buildings
when deemed necessary.
(2) Any property owner aggrieved by the determination
of the Building Inspector may seek review of that determination by
the Mayor upon a written submission to the Mayor setting forth the
reasons for seeking such review. The Mayor shall be authorized to
confirm or modify or change the determination of the Building Inspector
in the exercise of his or her reasonable discretion, and such determination
shall be final and binding.
J. Procedure on noncompliance.
(1) Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation,
partnership or other entity owning a building within the village refusing
or neglecting, for 60 days after notice from the Building Inspector,
to place the proper designated number on said building shall be deemed
in violation of this section.
(2) Service of notice. The notice provided for Subsection
(1) may be given by personal service or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner.

the neglect or refusal of any owner, after notice, to cause said building
to be properly numbered, the Village Building Inspector may cause
said building to be properly numbered.
(4) Report; assessment of costs. The Building Inspector
shall report the cost of numbering said building to the Board of Trustees,
and such Board shall order the Village Clerk to assess the cost of
