[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Selectmen of the Town of Guilford
3-18-1985. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is the intent and purpose of this chapter to establish an effective
and easily recognizable system for the exact location of various building
units in the Town of Guilford to ensure the rapid location of any building
unit by emergency vehicles.
A.
The owner of any building used for residential or commercial
purposes and the owner of any trailer which is permanently located or usable
for residential purposes shall affix thereto a building unit number designating
the street number of such building or trailer. Such number shall be no less
than three inches in height, shall be in a color contrasting to the area to
which it is affixed, shall be visible from the street to which such number
relates and shall be located on the top, bottom or side of the main entrance
of the building facing said street.
B.
In the case of a building or trailer more than 50 feet
from said street, the owner shall, in addition to the number on the building
or trailer, display a building unit number meeting the specifications set
forth herein on a mailbox, fence or post located at the property line reasonably
adjacent to said street or at the side of the driveway or sidewalk in such
manner as to make said number visible from the street. If the building unit
number is placed upon a mailbox adjacent to the street, said building unit
number shall be placed on each side of the mailbox in a location visible from
the street.
The owner or association in control of each condominium or apartment
complex or similar multi-building complex shall place upon the outside of
each building and/or unit in said complex, in a location and format approved
by the Fire Department, the number and name of each such building.
This chapter shall apply to both existing buildings and trailers as
well as those erected hereafter.
Any person who violates this chapter shall be fined in an amount not
exceeding $99.
