Upon notice of a violation of the foregoing, the owner of the property upon which the violation exists shall have five days from the date of service of such notice within which to comply, otherwise the Board of Trustees may rectify the condition and assess the costs for removing the condition and violation against said owner, agent or occupant. Such cost shall be a lien against the property and shall be collectible in the same manner as taxes levied and assessed against the property.
Every owner of any premises, improved or unimproved, in the village shall keep all garbage thereon in a metal or other watertight container or containers, each with a tight-fitting cover which shall be kept on at all times, such container or containers to be of such size as to be easily handled manually, the container and contents thereof not to exceed 100 pounds in weight, and of such number as to receive the garbage accumulation of three days from each such premise, and shall place or cause to be placed such container or containers, for the purpose of having their contents removed, so as not to be conspicuous from the street.

Title. This section shall be known and may be cited and referred to as the "House Numbering Ordinance of the Village of Lake Success."
Purpose. The purpose of these regulations is to require the clear display of authorized and assigned house or building numbers on every building fronting on any street in the village in order to assist the general public and emergency services, public and private, in identifying any property in case of emergency or otherwise.
Applicability. All residential, commercial, industrial or other structures erected or to be erected within the village shall display identification numbers as provided herein and in accordance with specifications provided herein.
The principal building or buildings on each lot, excluding any minor building or accessory structures.
Determination and assignment of building numbers. Building numbers shall be determined and assigned by the Village Building Inspector. The owner of any structure requiring a house number for which structure such a number has not been assigned as of the effective date of this section will be notified by the village when such number is assigned to said structure.
Display required. It shall be the duty of every owner of a building in the village to cause to be displayed thereon the street number of said building and at all times to maintain such number in compliance with the provisions of this section.
Size and display of numbers.
The Arabic numerals comprising the number to be displayed on a building shall be at least three inches in height and shall be placed on the front of said building in a prominent and conspicuous place and in such manner as to be plainly legible and visible, including being appropriately lit between sunset and sunrise, from the center of the street at all times. The color of said figures shall be in sharp contrast to the color of their background. The "front" of a building shall be construed as that side of the building which faces the street, and the requisite number or numbers shall be displayed on the side of such building or premises which faces the street.
[Amended 8-11-2008 by L.L. No. 2-2008]
Said number shall be placed near some light or source of illumination so that it may be readily seen at night.
Where the building upon which the number is to be displayed is more than 75 feet from the edge of the right-of-way, whether improved or not, of the street or road serving the building, the number shall, in addition to the other requirements of this chapter, be displayed in a manner readily visible from the road or street and in no event further back than 25 feet from said road or street right-of-way. Numbers may be displayed upon a post, rod or other type of fixture of substantial nature or a mailbox at or near the frontage, and so located as to ensure that the number is conspicuous and visible from the street in accordance with Subsection (1) above.
Certificates of occupancy. Any structure erected, repaired, altered or modified after the effective date of this section shall have the certificate of occupancy withheld until it is assigned a house number and said number is affixed to said structure in accordance with this section.
Designation of numbers; review of determination.
The Building Inspector shall designate separate numbers for buildings which have no designated street number, and he or she shall also have the authority to redesignate numbers for buildings when deemed necessary.
Any property owner aggrieved by the determination of the Building Inspector may seek review of that determination by the Mayor upon a written submission to the Mayor setting forth the reasons for seeking such review. The Mayor shall be authorized to confirm or modify or change the determination of the Building Inspector in the exercise of his or her reasonable discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding.
Procedure on noncompliance.
Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation, partnership or other entity owning a building within the village refusing or neglecting, for 60 days after notice from the Building Inspector, to place the proper designated number on said building shall be deemed in violation of this section.
Service of notice. The notice provided for Subsection (1) may be given by personal service or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner.
Numbering of building by village. In the event of the neglect or refusal of any owner, after notice, to cause said building to be properly numbered, the Village Building Inspector may cause said building to be properly numbered.
Report; assessment of costs. The Building Inspector shall report the cost of numbering said building to the Board of Trustees, and such Board shall order the Village Clerk to assess the cost of the same upon such premises, and the Village Clerk shall include the same in the next assessment roll.
Editor's Note: This local law also provided for the renumbering of former § 60-7, Penalties for offenses, as § 60-8.
[Added 11-10-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014]
A request to renumber an existing building shall be submitted to the Building Inspector who will review and forward such request to the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion and without a public hearing, shall approve or disapprove the request. As part of its consideration of the request, the Board of Trustees may solicit the advice and comments of the Building Inspector, Police Chief and other public officials. The decision of the Board of Trustees shall be final and unappealable.
The owner shall send notice of the request to renumber its building to owners of properties abutting and directly across the street from the building, by certified mail, return receipt requested, at least 14 days prior to the Board of Trustees meeting at which' the request will be heard. Proof of mailing shall be submitted to the Village Administrator no less than seven days prior to the meeting. All persons shall have an opportunity to be heard regarding the request at the meeting.
The requested number must be in sequential order and remain odd or even consistent with the existing numbering system.
The requested number shall not include a prefix or suffix of a letter or fraction.
In the event that the Board of Trustees approves the requested number, the Village will advise all appropriate agencies of such change.
The owner of the building to which the requested number has been assigned shall be responsible for notifying the global positioning system of the number change.
Prior to the number change, the owner of the building shall execute and deliver to the Building Inspector a notarized form prepared by the Village indemnifying and holding the Village harmless from all liability and responsibility related to the number change.
A request to renumber an existing building shall be accompanied by a fee established by a Board of Trustees resolution set forth in the Village Schedule of Fees.
