[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees the Village of Hamburg at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). Amendments noted where applicable.]
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 be deemed to include any minor building.
The Building Inspector is hereby 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 Hamburg to cause to be displayed thereon 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 shall be at least three inches in height and shall be placed on the front of said building 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 reflective in nature and 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 of such building or premises have been allotted and that the number or numbers shall be displayed on such side of such building or premises.
B. 
The numbers shall be so placed so that they will not be obstructed by trees, shrubbery, porches or other extensions of the building.
C. 
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 75 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whether improved or not, of the street or road serving the building, the number shall, in addition to the other requirements of this chapter, be displayed on a sign readily visible from the road or street and in no event further back than 25 feet from said road or street right-of-way.
Each separate building or dwelling shall be assigned a separate distinguishing number by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hamburg in conformity with a uniform numbering system encompassing the entire village. The display of any house number other than the number assigned by the village is expressly prohibited.
A. 
Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation, partnership or other entity owning a building within the Village of Hamburg refusing or neglecting, for 60 days after notice from the Building Inspector, to place the proper designated number on said building shall be deemed in violation of this chapter.
B. 
Service of notice. The notice provided for in Subsection A may be given by personal service or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner.
C. 
Numbering of building by village. In the event of the neglect or refusal of any owner, after notice to cause said building to be properly numbered, the Superintendent of Public Works of the Village of Hamburg, upon being advised by the Building Inspector, may cause said building to be properly numbered.
D. 
Report; assessment of costs. The Superintendent of Public Works shall report the cost of numbering said building to the Board of Trustees, and such Board shall order the Assessor to assess the cost of the same upon such premises, and the Assessor shall include the same in the next assessment role.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 or by imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days, or both.
