BILL NUMBER:S2034
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to requiring identification numbers to be displayed on certain buildings
Summary
Gives each city the power to establish and enforce rules and street numbers in accordance with the requirements of the law. Provides for a violation not to exceed $25 for a first violation, with a fine of an additional $5 per day that such violation continues.
Justification
Many tragedies have occurred as a result of crime, accidents, illnesses and fires due to the fact that emergency personnel, such as police, fire fighters and paramedics are unable to ascertain the location of the emergency. This legislation would require that large, clear address numbers be affixed prominently on the face of all residences which have such numbers assigned, thereby eliminating the precious time lost that occurs when a building is not clearly marked.
Fiscal implications
None.
Effective date
90th day after becoming law.
