[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the Town of Bath 12-8-2003 by L.L. No.
2-2003. Amendments noted where applicable.]
All structures within the Town of Bath shall be identified by
an address assigned in accordance with the County of Steuben Addressing
Plan for 9-1-1.
The owner of each structure shall post the assigned number on
the structure adjacent to the main entrance.
The number shall be displayed on the structure in Arabic numerals,
with any supplemental suffix in block English letters. Said number
shall be in reflective material and shall be no less than four inches
in height. The numbers shall be of a color that contrasts with the
structure.
Address numbers shall also be placed on the structure's
mailbox or mailbox post. These shall be no less than three inches
in height and shall be white reflective numbers/letters on a contrasting
background. Where the mailbox is not located at the structure, the
roadway name shall be included on the mailbox.
If a structure is located more than 50 feet from the roadway,
or if it is not clearly visible from the roadway, the number shall
be installed on a post on the distant side of the driveway as it is
approached from the same side of the roadway as the structure. This
installation may be combined with the mailbox post, if the mailbox
is located at the drive. The numbers shall be visible in both directions
of travel on the roadway.
Any previous numbers assigned to the structure shall be removed.
Should the owner of the property fail to post the structure
numbers, after being duly advised, the Town of Bath may post them
and charge the owner. If such charge is not paid by the owner within
30 days, the Town of Bath may add the charge and expense to the property's
tax bill.
Any police officer, code enforcement officer or other public
official authorized to issue appearance tickets may enforce the provisions
of this chapter.
