Every owner, trustee, lessee, agent or occupant of every existing residential
or commercial structure in the Borough shall cause such residential or commercial
structure to be numbered in the following manner:
A. New construction. Every owner, trustee, lessee, agent
or occupant of a newly constructed residential or commercial structure shall
obtain a street number from the Borough Manager, and no occupancy permit will
be issued for such a residential or commercial structure until such street
number shall have been obtained and this chapter complied with.
B. The street number assigned to each residential or commercial
structure shall be placed conspicuously in close proximity to the main door
facing the street to which the number has been assigned and shall consist
of metal, plastic, wood or any other generally accepted numbering material
and shall be at least three inches in height so as to be legible and clearly
identifiable from the curbline of the residential or commercial structure.
In the event that the residential or commercial structure sets back more than
50 feet or more from the curbline, the assigned street number shall additionally
be posted in a clear and conspicuous manner at or within 20 feet of the curbline.
C. In the event that the mailbox for a residential or commercial
structure is located away from the structure itself, the mailbox shall be
placed in close proximity to the curbline and shall contain or display the
house number.
All numbers which are presently displayed in a manner not in conformity
with this chapter shall be brought into conformity within 12 months of the
date this chapter is adopted.
The Borough Manager, police officers, Ordinance Officer, Fire Marshal
or their designees, or the designee of Borough Council, shall enforce compliance
with this chapter.
