[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Penn Yan 12-21-1999 by L.L. No. 10-1999. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Penn Yan finds that the lack of a Village-wide requirement for the assignment and display of assigned numbers to the buildings within the Village results in a general inability to quickly and conveniently locate an address and thus poses a problem for the general public, delivery and service personnel and most importantly the delivery of police, fire and medical emergency services.
It is the intent of this chapter to require a Village-wide uniform numbering system for all buildings which will assist the general public, delivery and service personnel and emergency personnel in responding efficiently and quickly to an emergency.
Any enclosed structure having a roof and walls and built specifically for human use and occupancy either as a residence or in one or more commercial endeavors.
The Building Inspector is hereby authorized to decide which building or buildings on any particular lot shall be numbered.
The Building Inspector shall designate separate numbers for buildings which have no designated street number, and he shall have the authority to reassign 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 review. The Mayor is authorized to confirm or modify or change the determination of the Building Inspector in the exercise of his reasonable discretion, and such determination shall be final and binding.
It shall be the duty of every building owner in the Village of Penn Yan to cause to be displayed thereon the street number of said building on a post, mailbox or other structure at or within 25 feet of the curbline where the driveway or entranceway to the building is located. At all times, the owner of a building shall maintain such number in compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
The figure or figures comprising the number are to be at least four inches in height and shall be placed on the front of said building or on a post or other structure in a prominent and conspicuous place and in such a manner as to be plainly legible and visible from the center of the street when facing the building at all times between sunrise and sunset. The color of said figures shall be in sharp contrast to the color of their background. So far as the purpose and intent of this chapter is concerned, the front of the building shall be construed as that side of the building which faces the street, and the number or numbers shall be displayed on such side of such building or premises.
Noncompliance deemed a violation. Any person, corporation, partnership or other entity owning a building within the Village of Penn Yan refusing or neglecting for 30 days after notice from the Building Inspector to place the proper designated number on said building shall be deemed in violation of this chapter.
Service of notice. This notice provided for in § 57-9A may be given by personal service or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner as shown on the last assessment roll on file in the Assessor's office.
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 Building Inspector of the Village of Penn Yan 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 Village Board, and such Board shall order said cost assessed as a lien against the property of the owner and collected in the same manner as other Village taxes.
Any person, corporation, partnership or other entity violating any provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction, be punishable by a fine not to exceed $250. Each calendar week or portion thereof that said violation continues shall be deemed a separate violation.
