Article I Distribution of Commercial Advertisements
[Adopted 6-7-1982 by Ord. No. 11-1982 as Ch. 56 of the 1982 Code]
Any sample or device, dodger, bill, handbill, circular, pamphlet, paper, booklet, picture or any other written or printed or reproduced matter which:
While containing reading matter other than advertising mater, is predominantly and essentially an advertisement and is distributed or circulated for advertising purposes or for the private benefit and gain of any person so engaged as advertiser or distributor.
Advertises any medicine or medicinal preparation represented to cure ailments or diseases of the body or mind.
No person shall distribute commercial advertising matter in the city without first obtaining a permit therefor from the Licensing Officer as hereinafter provided in this article.
Nothing in Subsection A of this section shall be construed to require a permit for the distribution of commercial advertising matter on or in business premises by the proprietor thereof or his agents, servants or employees; nor shall it be deemed to prohibit the delivery of any article expressly permitted by N.J.S.A. 40:48-1, Subsection 22.
The permit issued under this article shall not be deemed to authorize the holder thereof to distribute commercial advertising matter except in compliance with the regulations hereinafter set forth in this article.
Every applicant for a permit under this article shall file with the Licensing Officer a written application signed and verified by the applicant, on a form supplied by the Licensing Officer.
The place of applicant's residence or residences during and for each of the three years preceding the filing of the application.
The number of days for which the applicant seeks the permit.
After due investigation, and upon being satisfied that the applicant is of good moral character and that the business or commercial enterprise for which he proposes to distribute commercial advertising matter is free from fraud, the Licensing Officer shall thereupon issue the permit upon the payment of the permit fee prescribed in § 159-6 hereof. The permit shall specify the number of days for which it shall be effective.
The permittee shall carry said permit with him while engaged in distributing any commercial advertising matter and shall exhibit it to any policeman or other person upon request.
The fee for a permit shall be $25.
No person holding a permit issued under this article shall throw, deposit or distribute any commercial advertising matter in or upon private premises which are inhabited, except by handing or transmitting the same directly to the owner, occupant or other person then present, except as hereinafter provided. A person, unless requested by anyone upon the premises not to do so, may place or deposit any such commercial advertising matter in or upon inhabited private premises if the premises are not posted as provided in § 159-8 and the commercial advertising matter is placed or deposited so as to secure or prevent it from being blown or drifted about the premises or sidewalks, streets or other public places. Mailboxes may not be so used when prohibited by federal postal law or regulations. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the distribution of mail by the United States, nor to newspapers.
No person shall throw, deposit or distribute any commercial advertising matter in or upon any private premises if:
Requested by anyone in or upon such premises not to do so.
There is placed on said premises in a conspicuous position near the entrance thereof a sign bearing the words "No Trespassing," "No Peddlers or Agents," "No Advertisement" or any similar notice indicating that the occupants of said premises do not desire to be molested or have their right of privacy disturbed or to have any such handbills left upon such premises.
No person shall throw or deposit any commercial advertising matter in or upon any private premises, which are temporarily of continuously uninhabited or vacant.
No person shall hand out or distribute any commercial advertising matter in any public place; provided, however, that it shall not be deemed unlawful for any person to hand out or distribute, without charge to the receiver thereof, in any sidewalk, street or other public place, any noncommercial handbill to a person willing to accept it.
