[Ord. 1/24/1868; as amended by Ord. 1002, 5/19/1964, § 1]
The owner of every building in the Borough shall be required
to affix the proper number, as hereinafter provided, upon such building,
and thereafter to maintain such number in complete and legible form.
Provided, the word "building," as used in this Part, shall mean any
structure used or intended to be used as a dwelling or place of business
or industry, but shall not include any public building or any structure
built as a place of worship, or any accessory building located upon
a lot where there is also a main building.
[Ord. 1/24/1868, § 2; as amended by Ord. 1002,
5/19/1964, § 2]
Buildings shall be numbered according to the system set out
on the "Official Street Plan of the Borough."
[Ord. 1/24/1868; as amended by Ord. 1002, 5/19/1964, § 3]
The Borough Engineer shall be responsible for assigning the
proper numbers to each building as herein provided. Provided, upon
all streets not running in a generally east-west or north-south direction
or in any way not conforming to the prevalent pattern of street arrangements
in the Borough, numbers shall be assigned by the Engineer at approximate
twenty-foot intervals, as closely as possible to the numbers used
upon neighboring streets running in an approximately parallel direction,
or if the latter is not practicable, in a manner that the Engineer
considers will provide a most logical means of locating a property.
Any property owner may obtain the correct number for any building
located upon his property, without charge, upon application to the
Engineer.
[Ord. 1/24/1868; as amended by Ord. 1002, 5/19/1964, § 4;
and by Ord. 1735, 4/12/1993]
If any property owner shall neglect or refuse to place the proper
number as required in this Part, each digit to be at least three inches
high, upon the front of such building or upon a permanent standard,
base or support between the front of such building and the street,
in either case so as to be visible from the street, and thereafter
to maintain such number as required in this Part, he shall be guilty
of a violation of this Part, and for each and every such violation,
upon conviction thereof shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more
than $600 and costs of prosecution. In default of payment of said
fine and costs, said person may be sentenced to a term of imprisonment
not to exceed 30 days. Provided, each thirty-day period that any violation
of any of the provisions of this Part shall continue shall constitute
a separate offense.
