[Adopted as Ch. 6, § 6.8, of the 2015 Compilation]
Notice of any necessary changes to previously assigned street numbers shall be given by regular mail, and by posting in the office of the Town Clerk.
It shall be the responsibility of each property owner to obtain and display the appropriate street number(s) for their existing building(s) 30 days of the effective date of this by-law or notice of change described in § 122-2, whichever is later.
Any new building described in § 122-1 erected or located in the Town shall be assigned a street number at the time a building permit is issued. The assigned street number must be displayed by the date of occupancy and no occupancy permit or smoke detector certificate of compliance shall be issued for the building unless the assigned street number has been displayed.
Street numbers shall be made of permanent, weatherproof materials in contrasting color to the building, shall be at least three inches in height, and shall be affixed to the outside of the building near the main entrance so as to be clearly visible from the street or way on which the building fronts. In cases where the number cannot be made clearly visible from a street or way, the number shall be affixed, at a height of at least 36 inches above the ground, to a permanent sign, post or mailbox located at the property line proximate to the access way into the lot on which the building is located.

The International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) is a building energy code created by the International Code Council. It is a model code adopted by many state and municipal governments in the United States for the establishment of minimum design and construction requirements for energy efficiency, and is updated on a three-year cycle. The baseline energy conservation requirements of the MA State Building Code are the IECC with Massachusetts amendments, as approved by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards.
Codified by the Board of Building Regulation and Standards as 780 CMR Appendix 115.AA of the Massachusetts Building Code, the Stretch Energy Code is an appendix to the Massachusetts Building Code, based on further amendments to the International Energy Code (IECC) to improve the energy efficiency of buildings built to this code.
The purpose of 780 CMR 115.AA is to provide a more energy efficient alternative to the Base Energy Code applicable to relevant sections of the building code for both new construction and existing buildings.
The Stretch Energy Code as codified by the Board of Building Regulations and Standards as 780 CMR Appendix 115.AA, including any future editions, amendments or modifications, is herein incorporated by reference into the Town of Carver General Bylaws. The Stretch Code is enforceable by the Building Commissioner.
