[Added 9-18-1990 by Ord. No. 90-75]
In order that police, fire, ambulance and other public safety agencies may quickly and accurately respond to a street address in the event of an emergency, the following requirements shall be complied with.
Principal buildings used and/or to be used and/or constructed for residential, mixed occupancy, commercial, industrial or storage purposes shall bear or display at least one set of street numbers assigned to it. In the case of new construction, no certificate of occupancy will be issued unless the owner and/or applicant certifies to the town that such street numbers have been installed as provided in this Article.
[Amended 8-16-1994 by L.L. No. 5-1994; 8-17-1999 by L.L. No. 8-1999]
Such street numbers shall be Arabic in format and depict the mailing address number which is to be securely mounted to the structure's storefront entrance or the main entrance of the structure facing the street of the residence. In the cases of corner lots, the house number shall coincide with the street within the mailing address. For the purposes of this article, "mailing address" is defined as the home address or where the owner's or occupant's telephone is listed. No numbers are to be placed on doors. No numbers in script format shall be permitted. In the case wherein a group of structures or buildings carry the same address, street numbers must be visible at the principle entry point to all residential, commercial and industrial complexes.
[Amended 8-16-1994 by L.L. No. 5-1994; 8-17-1999 by L.L. No. 8-1999]
All street numbers shall be mounted to provide an unobstructed view at a height of no less than five feet from the ground at the foundation, but no higher than 15 feet from the ground at the foundation. Numbers shall be legible as to a contrasting background arrangement, spacing, size and uniformity of the whole so that the numbers may be read with ease during daylight hours by a person possessing at least 20/40 vision, as he or she views the numbers from the center line of the facing street. Numbers five inches in height are presumed to be in compliance with this article unless the town can establish otherwise. Trees, shrubs, vehicles and other obstructions shall not block said street numbers. Where the setback of a structure is great enough, or landscaping or other structures on the property prohibit legibility of the numbers from the centerline of the facing street, numbers shall be mounted on a separate support in the front yard not more than 30 feet from the front property line.
Builders or applicants of new structures shall post a temporary sign on the site conforming to § 204-73 of this chapter displaying the assigned street address and lot number, if applicable.
Final authority for determining and assigning the number or numbers to be used upon any particular premises is vested in the Assessor.
[Amended 8-16-1994 by L.L. No. 5-1994]
The failure to display complete street numbers or the use of any number out of logical sequence for the street toward which it faces or the failure of a number to meet the elevation or visibility requirements of this Article shall be considered a violation of this Article.
[Amended 8-16-1994 by L.L. No. 5-1994]
In case the owner of residential property does not place said street numbers within 14 days after service of the notice to do so or in the case of the owner of commercial or industrial property does not place said street numbers and/or remove all other numbers within 90 days after service of the notice to do so, the Building Inspector, Commissioner of Public Works or Fire Marshal may issue an appearance ticket, subscribed by him or her, directing the owner(s) to appear in a designated local criminal court at a designated future time in connection with the alleged commission of a designated offense of the Article.
A. 
Any violation of this Article shall constitute a Class C violation punishable as provided in § 1-16.
[Amended 2-4-1997 by L.L. No. 1-1997]
B. 
The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue, and all such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects at any such time. Each separate offense shall constitute a separate, additional violation.
