noted where applicable.]
[Amended 6-17-1974, effective 6-29-1974]
No person, corporation, partnership or association of persons
shall use or operate or permit to be used or operated on their premises
artificial lighting or illumination which unreasonably disturbs the
sleep, comfort and repose of other residents or inhabitants in the
vicinity, either by reason of the power or intensity or the location
of said artificial lighting or illumination.
The illumination and lighting of such premises between the hours
of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. with more lighting and illumination than
is reasonably necessary and proper for the safeguarding and protection
of persons and property upon such premises shall be presumed to be
lighting and illumination of such power and intensity as to annoy
or disturb unreasonably the sleep, comfort and repose of the persons
residing in the vicinity and shall be presumptive evidence of a violation
of this section.
No person, firm, partnership or association of persons shall
place, maintain or display upon or in view of any highway any unauthorized
sign, signal, light, marking or device which purports to be or is
an imitation of or resembles or is likely to be construed as an official
traffic control device, light or lights of an emergency motor vehicle,
as authorized by the laws of the State of New York, or which attempts
to direct or regulate the movement of traffic.
[Amended 5-31-1966]
Every violation by any person, firm, association or corporation
of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed to be an
offense against this chapter and, upon conviction thereof, such person,

more than $100 or imprisonment not to exceed three months, or both,
for each and every offense.
This chapter shall become effective immediately upon publication
and posting within the provisions of law.
