[Adopted 5-12-1980 as Ch. 99, §§ 99-1
through 99-3, of the 1980 Code]
Every owner or occupant of a dwelling house,
store or shop in the City of Oswego shall affix the proper number
of the same on or over the front door of his or her house, store or
shop, which number shall be designated by the City Engineer. Such
number shall be so affixed within twenty (20) days after notice shall
be published in the official paper by the Assessor requiring numbers
to be so affixed. Every person neglecting to comply with this section
shall be subject to a fine as provided herein.[1]
No person shall erect or place, or suffer or
procure to be erected or placed, any building in said city bounded
on the line of the street unless the line of such building as related
to the street line shall have been first laid down by the City Engineer;
and if any building, or any part, portion or projection thereof (except
cornices, window caps and sills) which shall be erected or placed,
shall project beyond the line of the street, the owner or builder
thereof shall, within ten (10) days after notice given to him by the
Common Council, remove said building or any projection thereon, save
as above excepted, to the line of the street. A violation of either
or any of the provisions of this section is a misdemeanor, and each
day after notice shall be given, as aforesaid, that such building
or buildings or projection or projections shall be continued is a
fresh misdemeanor, not merged in any way by a prior offense or conviction.
The provisions of this section shall not in any way affect the right
of the City of Oswego to take such legal action by ejectment or otherwise,
as it may be entitled to, to compel the removal of such building or
buildings or projection or projections from the street.
No person shall erect or place, or procure or
cause to be erected or placed, in any street, alley, lane or highway,
or any public park or public ground of this city, any building or
part of a building of any description, or any fence or part of a fence,
or other structure, except such as is prescribed by resolution or
allowed by law. The punishment for a violation of this section shall
be subject to a fine as provided herein, and a further fine of ten
dollars ($10.) for every twenty-four (24) hours any building or part
of a building, fence or other structure shall be suffered to remain,
contrary to the provisions of this section, after notice from the
Common Council to remove the same.
