[Amended 3-26-1987 by Ord. No. 945]
All houses and buildings erected or hereafter
erected fronting on any of the public streets, avenues or highways
within the corporate limits of the Township of Saddle Brook are hereby
numbered as set forth on the Township Assessment Map, Revision of
1932 as amended and updated, heretofore prepared by the Township Engineer,
Florio C. Job, and now on file in the office of the Township Clerk.
On or before July 1, 1932, all owners, occupants,
lessees or parties in possession of any house or building which now
fronts or hereafter may front any of the streets, avenues or highways
within the corporate limits of the Township of Saddle Brook shall
cause the same to be properly numbered in accordance with the numbers
appearing upon the Assessment Map aforementioned, made by the Township
Engineer.
The numbers used shall be figures at least three
inches in height, placed on the front of each house or building.
In case of doubt in applying the above system
of numbering to any plot, house or building, application may be made
in writing to the Township Council of the Township of Saddle Brook,
the majority of whom are hereby empowered to relieve the doubt and
adjust the same by assigning to any plot, house or building a fractional
number or distinctive number or name whereby the same shall be known.
Every person, firm or corporation failing to
comply with the provisions of this chapter shall pay a fine of not
less than $1 nor more than $10, in the discretion of the Judge imposing
the same, and in default of the payment of any fine imposed, the offender
may be committed to jail until the said fine be paid, for a period
not exceeding 10 days. Each day during which such noncompliance shall
continue shall constitute a separate and distinct offense.
