[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
The owner or occupant or person in charge of any house or building
to which a number has been assigned will be notified, in writing,
by the Township or the United States Postal Service of the number

or person in charge thereof, upon affixing the new number, to remove
any different number which might be mistaken for, or confused with,
the number assigned to said structure by the Township.

a Magisterial District Judge in the manner provided for the enforcement
of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure,
