[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Spring Valley 12-22-1992 as L.L. No. 6-1992. Amendments
noted where applicable.]
The Rockland County Legislature has authorized
the installation of an E-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 Spring Valley 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[1] of the Village of Spring Valley 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.

Editor’s Note: The position of Assessor in the Village
was abolished 11-30-2016 by L.L. No. 5-2016.
A.
The number or numbers assigned to a parcel of real property, as set forth in § 85-2 of 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 it 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
not be 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 it is affixed.
Within 30 days after notification that a number
has been assigned to a parcel of real property, the owner of said
real 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[1] in the manner provided in § 85-3 of this chapter. Such owner or agent shall be required to maintain the placement of such number or numbers in accordance with such section.
