Editor's Note: Said copy is on file in the Borough offices.
On and after the passage of this chapter, it shall be the duty of each and every owner, trustee, lessee, agent and occupant of each and every house, building or other structure in the Borough of Mount Holly Springs to cause the same to be numbered in accordance with this chapter, and the system and plan hereby adopted and approved.
A. 
The numbers shall be placed in a conspicuous place on every house, building or other structure in a conspicuous manner so that said numbers can be readily seen and read from the sidewalk in front of said building, and in full view from the opposite side of the street. The numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters, a minimum of four inches high, with a minimum stroke width of 0.5 inch, of contrasting color, and in compliance with the Uniform Construction Code and with § 269-7 of this Code.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
B. 
It shall be unlawful to cover any house number with any sign, drapery or other obstruction tending to conceal such number, and all old numbers shall be removed from any house, building or other structure when a new number has been assigned, and when so notified by the Secretary of Council at the direction of the Borough.
C. 
The Borough Secretary is hereby authorized to require the numbering and renumbering of any house, building or other structure in accordance with this chapter.
A. 
All numbering starts at the intersection of Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street; Pine Street shall be the dividing line between north and south, while Baltimore Avenue shall be the dividing line between east and west. Beginning at the southeast corner of Pine Street and Baltimore Avenue, the number shall be "1" and an odd number shall be assigned for every 1/2 inch or actual property shown on Borough Property maps, thereafter, consecutively, extending westwardly. The same applies except in an easterly direction from the same point. Beginning at the southwest corner of Pine Street and Baltimore Avenue, the number shall be "1" and an odd number shall be assigned for every 1/2 inch or actual property shown on Borough property maps, thereafter, consecutively, extending eastwardly. Beginning at the northeast corner of Pine Street and Baltimore Avenue, the number shall be "2" and an even number shall be assigned for every 1/2 inch or actual property shown on Borough property maps, thereafter, consecutively, extending westwardly. The same applies except in an easterly direction from the same point. Beginning at the northwest corner of Pine Street and Baltimore Avenue, the number shall be "2" and an even number shall be assigned for every 1/2 inch or actual property shown on Borough property maps, thereafter, consecutively, extending eastwardly.
B. 
From the same starting point, extending northerly but starting with "1," beginning at the northwest corner of Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street, numbering will apply as above, with odd numbers starting with "1." Beginning at the northwest corner of Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street, even numbering will apply as above beginning with "2" and extending northerly. From the same starting point extending southerly from the southwest corner of Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street but starting with "1," odd numbering beginning with "1" will apply as above. From the same starting point extending southerly from the southeast corner of Baltimore Avenue and Pine Street, but starting with "2," even numbers will apply as above.
C. 
All even numbers shall be on the north and east side of the street, or avenue, and all odd numbers shall be on the south and west side of the streets. The houses on short or intermediate streets shall be numbered uniformly, with the main streets paralleling them, whether they begin at the initial point or not.
D. 
This procedure applies to all streets and avenues in the Borough, and those hereafter taken in by the Borough.
Owners of property where the house number now in use falls on the lot described in the deed or deeds upon which the house is erected shall not receive new numbers; provided, however, that in case of future building on the lot, new numbers will be assigned in accordance with every 1/2 inch spacing on Borough property maps as provided by § 214-4 of this chapter.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
A. 
Any person or persons, firm or corporation who shall number or attempt to number any house or building contrary to this chapter and the plan hereby approved and adopted; or who shall alter, deface, remove or destroy any number required to be displayed by this chapter, shall upon conviction, pay a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Borough in the enforcement proceedings. Upon judgment against any person by summary conviction, or by proceedings by summons on default of the payment of the fine or penalty imposed and the costs, the defendant may be sentenced and committed to the Borough correctional facility for a period not exceeding 10 days or to the county correctional facility for a period not exceeding 30 days.
B. 
Any person or persons, firm or corporation who shall fail or neglect to change or erect their house or building number in accordance herewith, within 10 days after formal notification in writing by the Borough Secretary, at the direction of the Borough Council, shall, upon conviction, pay a fine of not more than $1,000, plus court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the Borough in the enforcement proceedings.
