As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
The principal building or buildings on each lot and shall
not be deemed to include any minor building.
The Town Building Inspector is hereby authorized to decide which
building or buildings on any particular lot may be numbered.
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building in the Town
of North Castle to cause to be displayed either on the building or
on a mailbox, lamppost, sign or pole the street number of said building
and at all times to maintain such number in compliance with the provisions
of this chapter.
A.
The figure or figures comprising the number to be displayed on a
building or on a mailbox, lamppost, sign or pole hereunder shall be
in compliance with New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building
Code and shall be placed on the front of said building or on a mailbox,
lamppost, sign or pole hereunder in a prominent and conspicuous place
and in such manner as to be plainly legible from the center of the
street at all times between sunrise and sunset. The color of said
figures shall be in sharp contrast to the color of their background;
provided, however, that so far as the purpose or intent of this chapter
is concerned, the front of a building shall be construed as that side
of the building which faces the street on which the number or numbers
shall be displayed on such side of such building or premises.
[Amended 11-18-2015 by L.L. No. 9-2015]
B.
The numbers shall be so placed so that they will not be obstructed
by trees, shrubbery, porches or other extensions of the building.

Wherever practicable, said number shall be placed near some light
or source of illumination so that it may be readily seen at night.
D.
Where the building upon which the number is to be displayed is more
than 50 feet from the edge of the right-of-way (whether improved or
not) of the street or road serving the building, the number shall
be displayed on a mailbox, lamppost, sign or pole readily visible
from the road or street and in no event further back than 15 feet
from said road or street right-of-way.
Each separate building or dwelling shall be assigned a separate
distinguishing number by the Town Board of the Town of North Castle
in conformity with a uniform numbering system encompassing the entire
Town. The display of any house number other than the number assigned
by the Town is expressly prohibited.
A.
Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation, partnership
or other entity owning a building within the Town of North Castle
refusing or neglecting for 60 days after notice from the Town Building
Inspector to place the proper designated number on said building shall
be deemed in violation of this chapter.
