All buildings and vacant land established in
the Borough of Branchville shall be numbered for proper identification
and for fire, police and medical emergencies.
The owner shall place upon the main building
the assigned number in numerical or written (English) form.
The size of the number required to be placed
shall be not less than three inches in height. It shall be placed,
if possible, in a conspicuous location on the street-facing portion
of the building at a location to provide a clear identification of
the number.
Where possible, the number shall be placed so
as to be illuminated by existing outside lighting.
Where the building is so situated as to prevent
the unaided eye from reading the number from the street, the number
shall be displayed on an appropriate marker, post or on the mailbox
adjacent to the driveway or walkway leading to the building.
No number shall be placed upon any building
for the purpose of this chapter unless said number shall be that number
which has been assigned under the authority of this chapter and corresponds
with the number assigned on the Building Numbers Map on file in the
Municipal Office of the Borough of Branchville.
[Amended 1-16-2008 by Ord. No. 01-2008]
A person who shall refuse, fail or neglect to
comply with any provisions of this chapter shall be subject to the
penalties provided by § 145 of this Code.
