The Village of Elmsford will be implementing an emergency telephone
system whereby an individual will be able to dial a 911 telephone number in
the event of an emergency. A village-wide uniform numbering system of all
buildings will assist emergency personnel in responding efficiently and quickly
to an emergency. It is, therefore, in the best interest of the public health,
safety and welfare of the village to enact this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
BUILDING
The principal building or buildings on each lot and shall not include
any accessory building.
The Building Inspector shall be authorized to decide which building
or buildings on any particular lot shall be numbered.
It shall be the duty of every owner of a building in the Village of
Elmsford to cause to be displayed thereon the street number of said building
on a post, mailbox or other structure at or within 25 feet of the curbline
where the driveway or entranceway to the building is located. At all times,
the owner of a building shall maintain such number in compliance with the
provisions of this chapter.
The display of any house number other than the number authorized or
assigned by the Building Inspector is expressly prohibited.
Any person, corporation, partnership or other entity violating any of
the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a
fine not to exceed $250. Each calendar week or portion thereof that said violation
continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
