§ 3-02 Directional Sign – Display of House Numbers.
RCNY § 3-02
These Rules and Regulations shall apply in addition to the "House Numbers" regulations in all cases where the Borough President of Manhattan determines that house numbers may not be clearly visible from the street upon which the address is assigned. Note: This situation usually arises with respect to buildings which are set back from the street, where the entrances are rotated out of a parallel plane to the building line or in cases where buildings do not front on City street.
(a)Sign facing city streets. A directional sign shall be installed in the proximity of the building line, facing the street upon which the address is assigned. The sign shall display all the assigned house numbers, in addition to the name of the street, and shall include arrows or other approved symbols to direct pedestrians toward the building entrance.
(b)Additional signs.
(1)Based on Distance of Building Entrance to Street. One additional directional sign shall be posted for each two hundred feet of distance between the building entrance and the street upon which the address is given.
(2)Based on Changes of Direction between Building Entrance and Street. One additional directional sign shall be posed at each change in direction to be travelled between the building entrance and the street upon which the address is assigned.
(c)Posting of address on door. The complete address, which shall include the house number and the name of the street upon which the address is assigned, shall be placed upon the entrance door in conformance with the "house numbers" regulations.
