A.
Establishment of no-knock list. All residents of the Borough may
register their name, address and/or unit/apartment number with the
Municipal Clerk to be placed on the no-knock list, indicating that
they do not want canvassers, distributors, solicitors, peddlers, transient
merchants or hawkers of any sort to approach their homes and/or seek
personal contact with the occupants of the registered residence. The
Municipal Clerk shall provide the registration form, which shall be
available during normal business hours. By registering for the no-knock
list, the resident acknowledges that the Borough police, fire and
other emergency services groups are exempt from the requirements of
this section.
B.
Updating and provision of list. The Municipal Clerk shall maintain
a no-knock list, a copy of which shall be provided to all persons
or organizations required to obtain a license or register pursuant
to this chapter. Registrants shall remain on the no-knock list for
a period of five years from the date of registration or until such
time as they advise the Municipal Clerk, in writing, that they wish
to be removed from the list. The Municipal Clerk shall ensure that
the list is updated periodically.
C.
Registration and display of decal. Upon completion of registration
on the no-knock list, the subscriber may purchase and receive, at
no charge, a decal stating "DO NOT KNOCK; Registered on the No-Knock
List with the Borough of Oradell Municipal Clerk; VIOLATORS WILL BE
PROSECUTED," which may be displayed in a clearly visible location
(e.g., front door or window adjacent to the front door).
D.
Violations. It shall be unlawful for any canvasser, distributor,
solicitor, peddler, transient merchant or hawker to approach and/or
seek personal contact with the occupants of any residence if that
residence is registered on the no-knock list. Anyone violating this
subsection shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to fines and
penalties in accordance with the Code of the Borough of Oradell.
