[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Englewood 10-5-1978 by Ord. No.
2335 as §§ 9-20 to 9-23 of the 1978
Revised General Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The following system of numbering all buildings and lots of
land, as heretofore adopted, is hereby continued:
A.
All numbers on streets running east and west are to start with the
east or west line of the right-of-way of the Northern Railroad Company
of New Jersey or its successor, and all numbers on streets running
north and south are to start at the north or south line of Palisade
Avenue, as the case may be.
B.
Streets which do not intersect either the railroad or Palisade Avenue
are to be numbered as though they did so intersect.
C.
Streets crossing the railroad shall receive the designation "East"
for that part lying east of the railroad and "West" for that part
lying west of the railroad. Streets crossing Palisade Avenue shall
receive the designation "North" for that part lying north of Palisade
Avenue and "South" for that part lying south of Palisade Avenue.
D.
Odd numbers shall be assigned to the north and east sides of a street
and even numbers to the south and west sides.
E.
The unit distance per number is hereby established at 25 feet for
lot frontage. Buildings occupying less than 25 feet of lot frontage
shall use half numbers.
The owner of every building shall at his own expense number
his building in accordance with the provisions of this chapter with
its proper number by placing on said building in a conspicuous place
near the entrance thereof numbers corresponding with the numbers provided
for herein and set forth on the map hereinafter referred to. The dimensions
of said numbers shall be not less than two inches. The numbers shall
be plainly visible at a distance of not less than 50 feet. The owner
of each building hereafter constructed shall forthwith number his
building in the same manner.
The map entitled "City of Englewood, New Jersey, Map Showing
House Numbering, October 1922," on file in the office of the City
Engineer and heretofore adopted as the numbering map of the City,
is hereby continued as the numbering map of the City, and the numbers
set forth and laid down thereon are hereby established for the lots
and houses thereon indicated. When any new street is laid out, the
City Engineer shall lay down, designate and plot the new street on
the aforesaid map and shall provide numbers on the property fronting
on the said street in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
Such numbers when laid down on said map shall be regarded as the proper
and legal numbers for the property and the building thereon.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall,
upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not exceeding $500
or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both. A separate
offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which a
violation occurs or continues.
