[Adopted 4-3-2000 by L.L.
No. 1-2000 (Ch. 127, Art. IV, of the 1992 Code)]
There is hereby established an official system of street names
and numbers in the Village of Woodridge, New York.
A. No new street shall be accepted by the Village until such street
shall be identified and designated by name. If new streets are extensions
of existing streets, the names of such streets shall be attached to
such extensions. If such new street is not an extension of an existing
street, then the name by which the new street is designated shall
not be identical to, nor bear any similarity to, nor conflict with
the name of any existing street.
B. Names for new streets and streets that are unnamed at the time of
the adoption of this article shall be assigned. Changes of existing
street names must be approved by the Village Board.
C. The Village Board may change the name of any street when necessary
to avoid confusion.
D. The Village Board shall cooperate with adjoining villages and townships
to ensure that every street within a United States Postal Service
zip code area has a unique name.
A. New street numbers shall be assigned by the Village Board or, where
authorized by the Village Board, by the Village of Woodridge Code
Enforcement Officer.
B. The Village Board, or where authorized by the Village Board the Village
Code Enforcement Officer, may assign new numbers where necessary to
avoid duplication or confusion.
A. The principal building on every parcel of land shall bear the number
assigned to the street frontage on which the entrance is located.
In case a principal building is occupied by more than one business
or family dwelling, the entrance to each separate use of such principal
building shall bear a separate number.
B. Numerals indicating the official numbers for each principal building
or each separate entrance shall be posted in a manner so as to be
visible from the street on which the property is located. Whenever
any building is situated more than 50 feet from the street line, the
official number shall be affixed to a gate, fence, tree, post, or
other appropriate place so as to be easily visible from the street
line and so as to show clearly, if not otherwise evident, which is
the driveway for the property. The numbers shall be not less than
three inches, nor more than six inches in height and shall be made
of durable material clearly visible during both daytime and nighttime
hours.
C. The owner of every building existing at the time of the adoption
of this article and already having a street number shall place official
numerals on such building within 30 days after such adoption. The
owner of every new or previously unnumbered building and of every
building to which a new number has been assigned shall place official
numerals on such building within 30 days after being notified of the
assignment of a number. No certificate of occupancy shall be issued
for any new building until the owner has complied with this provision.
A. The Village Clerk shall keep a record of all names and numbers assigned
pursuant to this article.
B. Upon assigning a new or changed name or number, the Village shall
immediately inform the Director of the Sullivan County Emergency Control
Center of the assignment.
Any person who violates this article shall be guilty of a violation
subject to punishment as provided in the Penal Law of the State of
New York.
