The system of numbering all buildings and lots of land in the
Township is as shown on a map or maps titled "Housing Numbering Maps,"
copies of which are on file with the Tax Assessor. The number shown
thereon for each building and lot is hereby assigned to that building
or lot.
Upon any subdivision or resubdivision of land in the Township
resulting in a lot or lots other than those delineated on the maps
or maps, the Tax Assessor shall assign a number to each lot resulting
from the subdivision or resubdivision which shall be in proper numerical
sequence in relation to the number of other lots fronting on the same
street and shall be recorded upon the map or maps within 10 days of
the filing of the approval given for such subdivision or resubdivision
of the land. No subdivision or resubdivision, major or minor, of land
requiring approval by the Planning Board shall be approved by it unless
a number shall be assigned by the Tax Assessor to each lot therein
for the building erected or to be erected on it.
The number so assigned to each building shall be displayed by
the owner or occupant on the front of the building, in numerals at
least three inches in height, at or near the front entrance to the
building or premises, five feet from the saddle of the main door,
and so located as to be visible to persons passing by the premises
on the abutting street. House numbers shall be procured and affixed
at the owner's expense. Common address buildings must be marked A,
B, C, etc.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
No certificate of occupancy shall be issued by the Department
of Construction and Land Use for the occupancy of any building hereinafter
erected or enlarged unless the provisions of this article shall have
been complied with.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Where houses are built on flag lots or a building is set back
where numbers cannot be read easily, the Fire Protection Subcode Official
can require house numbers near the street within 10 feet of the driveway
entrance.
