[HISTORY: 1973 Code §§ 66-1—66-8 as
amended through October 13, 2016. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Every building or lot of land fronting on any accepted street
of the Borough of North Caldwell shall be designated by a number marked
on the Tax Maps of the Borough of North Caldwell.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Engineer to determine such numbers and to delineate them on said Tax Maps; a lot of land for the purpose of this chapter shall be a unit of the minimum width required for building purposes, on the street upon which it fronts, by the Zoning Ordinances of the Borough of North Caldwell, codified as Chapter 107, Zoning and Land Use.
Even numbers shall be on the southerly and easterly sides of
said streets and odd numbers on the northerly and westerly sides of
said streets. Numbers of streets which continue in any other municipality
shall, so far as may be possible, be designed to conform to numbers
established in said municipality or to provide for a continuation
of the numbering in said other municipality when established.
The owner or owners of every building fronting on said streets
shall apply to the Borough Tax Assessor for the correct number of
the lot upon which such building stands, and shall at his own expense
place and display such number on the front of such building.
A.
It shall be the duty of the owner or occupant of every house or building
in the borough to display thereon, in a place visible from the street,
the designated street number of the house or building.
B.
In those circumstances where the house or building is served by a
curbside mailbox, in addition to displaying the street number on the
front of the house or building, the street number shall be displayed
on the mailbox or mailbox support in such a way as to be visible to
oncoming traffic from both directions.
If the said dwelling, store or other improvement has such a setback location that the provisions of § 66-5 cannot be complied with, then the owner or occupant shall provide a post, rod or other type of fixture of a substantial nature with the number affixed thereon and located on the premises so that the number shall be conspicuous and visible from the street, road, avenue, lane or way on which the premises front, or from which access to it is had.
Said numbers so used in compliance with this chapter shall be
of a height not less than three inches.
[New]
Any person or persons who shall violate any of the terms or provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a penalty as stated in Chapter 1, Article II General Penalty, Section 1-5 et seq. Each day that such violation shall occur shall be considered a separate and distinct offense.
