[Ord. 1209, passed 12-21-1998]
The owners of all buildings or property within the Town to which
street numbers have been assigned in accordance with the Allegheny
County 911 System shall have the street number prominently displayed
at all times in accordance with the following standards. For the purpose
of this article, a "street number" is an address number established
in accordance with the countywide 911 system with reference to the
adjacent road or street assigned and given to a particular building
or property:
(a)Â
Each building or house to which a street number has been assigned
shall have a street number displayed in a clearly visible manner on
the property, building or house except for buildings or houses which
are located a distance greater than 50 feet from the nearest public
or properly marked private roadway or upon which signage cannot be
attached or would not be readable from the nearest public or properly
marked private roadway by reason of natural or manmade obstructions.
The owner of said property shall be required to provide posted signage
within 20 feet of the public or properly marked private roadway, which
post shall have affixed thereon the street number which has been assigned
to the building or house. A tree may substitute for a post where appropriate
in the same manner as stated above.
(b)Â
If, for any reason, the street number of a particular building is
not readily identifiable by posted signage along the public or properly
marked private roadway whether due to the proximity of multiple buildings
with different street numbers or some other reason, then the street
number should be affixed to the building as well as posted by the
road. Similarly, if a single building has multiple street numbers
or apartment numbers, such as a professional building or apartment,
a building directory should be posted at the main entrance of the
building. The building itself must have an exterior street number.
