(Ord. 51, 10/5/1995, § 2)
Upon adoption of this Part, the owner(s) of each property shall be notified by the Township of Penn of the designated number for the owner's building or vacant lot, as the case may be, and each property owner shall, within 30 days thereafter, procure at the owner's expense, the appropriate number as assigned and place the same pursuant to the provisions of this Part on the building designated herein.

(Ord. 51, 10/5/1995, § 4)
The Township shall furnish and erect, at its expense, street signs designating the name(s) of the roads and streets which are Township rights-of-way.

Any person, firm or corporation who shall fail to comply with the terms of this Part by placing the designated number on the building, as herein required, shall be deemed to be in violation hereof and the Township shall have the right to purchase and install the appropriate number on the building and charge the cost and expense thereof of the property owner, together with a penalty of 10% and collect the same as a municipal lien. In addition, the property owner failing to comply with the terms of this Part shall, upon conviction thereof in an action brought before a district justice in the manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment of said fine and costs, to a term of imprisonment not to exceed 90 days. Each day that a violation of this Part continues or each Section of this Part which shall be found to have been violated shall constitute a separate offense.
