[HISTORY: Adopted by the Common Council of the City of Egg Harbor City at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I). Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter shall be known and may be cited and referred to as the "House Numbering Ordinance of the City of Egg Harbor City."
The Common Council hereby adopts the following provisions with respect to house numbering in the City of Egg Harbor City.
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 City of Egg Harbor City in order to assist the general public and emergency services, public and private, in identifying any property in case of emergency or otherwise.
All residential, commercial, industrial or other structures erected or to be erected within the City of Egg Harbor City shall display identification numbers as provided herein and in accordance with specifications provided herein.
House numbers shall be determined and assigned by the Tax Assessor of the City of Egg Harbor City. 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 chapter will be notified by the city when such number is assigned to said structure.
The owner, occupant or lessee of each and every structure which now fronts or which may hereafter front upon any public or private street within the City of Egg Harbor City who has been assigned a house number prior to the effective date of this chapter shall, at his/her own expense, within 30 days after the effective date of this chapter, cause the authorized and assigned number of such structure to be permanently and conspicuously placed in accordance with the specifications set forth herein. Any owner who has not been assigned a number prior to the effective date of this chapter shall, within 30 days after notice of assignment of such number, comply with the requirements of this section.
House or building numbers shall be:
A minimum height of three inches for residential properties and a minimum height of six inches for commercial and industrial properties.
Mounted in a secure fashion to the front wall or porch of the building so as to be clearly visible from the street.
Sufficiently legible as to contracting background, arrangement, spacing and uniformity so as to be clearly visible from the street.
At least 30 inches above ground level and so placed that trees, shrubs and other obstructions do not block the line of sight of the numbers from the street upon which the building fronts.
If numbers affixed to the front of the building would not be visible from the street, regulations may be satisfied if the owner, occupant or lessee shall provide the Arabic numbers, as required by these regulations, upon a post, rod or other type of fixture of substantial nature or a mailbox at or near the frontage with the same number affixed thereon and so located upon the same, so that the number may be conspicuous and visible from the street upon which the building fronts. When the provisions of this section have been complied with, the owner, occupant or lessee of the house or building shall not be otherwise obligated to affix Arabic numbers to said house or building and shall be permitted, at his/her option, to utilize cursive numbers or no numbers at all upon the house or building.
Garden apartment and townhouse-condominium complexes shall provide such building and apartment numbers as are provided for in the regulations.
Any structure erected, repaired, altered or modified after the effective date of this chapter 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 chapter.
Any person or persons convicted of a violation of these regulations shall be liable to a fine not exceeding $1,000, a term of imprisonment not exceeding 90 days or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days, or any combination thereof, said punishment to be levied at the discretion of the Municipal Court Judge. Each day that the violation occurs shall be deemed to be a separate violation.
