The Rockland County Legislature has authorized the installation
of an emergency 911 system within the county, which should reduce
the response time for emergency services in every town and village
throughout the county, resulting in benefit to the health, safety
and welfare of all residents. In order to accomplish this purpose,
the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hillburn recognizes the need
to require that all parcels of real property within the Village be
numbered and that the numbers must be conspicuously placed on said
parcels so as to be identifiable for response by emergency services.
The Assessor of the Village of Hillburn shall have authority
to assign numbers to every parcel of real property within the Village.
Such numbers shall be sequential with odd numbers on one side of a
street and even numbers on the other side. In the event that a parcel
of vacant real property is legally able to be subdivided, such parcel
shall be allocated as many numbers as may be necessary to accomplish
the purpose of this chapter. All property owners shall be notified,
in writing, of the number assigned to the property owned.
A.
The number or numbers assigned to a parcel of real property as set
forth in this chapter shall be conspicuously shown by placement on
the principal building situated on the lot. Such numbers shall be
placed on the side of the building facing the street upon which the
property is situated. In the event that the principal building on
a lot is set back more than 50 feet from the street line, the number
or numbers shall be placed upon a mailbox, gatepost, fence or other
appropriate place so that they shall be visible from the street.
B.
Numbers on residential buildings shall be not less than three inches
in height. Numbers on nonresidential buildings shall be not less than
four inches in height. All numbers shall be made of a durable and
clearly visible material and shall be in a contrasting color to the
building or place upon which they are affixed.
Within 30 days after notification that a number has been assigned
to a parcel of real property, the owner of said property or the agent
of such owner shall place or cause to be placed on such real property
the number or numbers assigned to such real property by the Assessor
in the manner provided in this chapter. Such owner or agent shall
be required to maintain the placement of such number or numbers in
accordance with the chapter.
Any owner of real property or the agent of such owner who violates
any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of a violation
and shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $200 and/or imprisonment
not to exceed 15 days for each such violation. Each day on which such
violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
