To assist homeowners in their compliance to Municipality of Murrysville's Codes (Article VI §220-59) Medic One is selling reflective house number signs. By properly identifying your residence or business helps us locate you easier, which can assist in saving a life or property. The order forms for these signs can be found on our "File" page of this website for you to download, or you can stop by Medic One to pick-up your order form. Listed below is a copy of the Murrysville's Ordinance requiring proper dwelling identification.
It shall be the duty of the owners of all principal buildings and dwellings within the Municipality to post the proper identification of such structures within 60 days of the enactment of this section and of all future owners of such structures to post proper identification prior to occupancy.
C. Style. Said identification shall consist of the address number posted in numerals at least three inches in height with a minimum of a quarter-of-an-inch-wide stroke.
D. Visibility and placement.
(1) Visibility is defined by factors, including but not limited to distinction from the background upon which the address number is posted, distance from the street, porches, trees and other objects that may prohibit the ease of recognition of the posted number from the street. Visibility shall also include the ability of emergency personnel (fire, police, and ambulance) to use said posted number to identify the building or dwelling unit from the street to which the building is addressed.
(2) Said identification must be posted in a place where it is clearly visible from the street to which the building is addressed and must be posted in at least one of the following locations:
(a) Address numbers placed on or within three feet of either side of the door facing the street to which the building or dwelling is addressed, wherever most visible. If such placement is not possible or visible due to the features of the structure, said address may be posted on an alternate location, as determined by the Code Enforcement Officer of the Municipality, in similar proximity to the door, such as a porch post.
(b) Address number posted on both sides of the mailbox or both sides of the mailbox post, on the same side of the street as the structure that it serves.
(c) Address number placed on a post, sign or similar object erected clearly in the front yard or to the side of the driveway servicing said building or dwelling. Said address number shall be no more than seven feet above the ground and no less than three feet above the ground. The number must be visible and readable by vehicles approaching the property from both directions of the street.
(3) All structures sharing a common driveway must post address numbers in the manner described in Subsection D(2)(a). In addition, structures sharing a common driveway must also post address numbers in a manner described in either Subsection D(2)(b) and/or (c) of this section.
(4) Buildings that contain units that do not face the street to which they are addressed, including but not limited to apartment buildings and office buildings, must post a building directory near the main entrance facing the street to which the units are addressed. Said directory may consist of a map showing the locations and numbers of said units. Owners must also post street addresses in a manner described by Subsection D(3) of this section.
(5) The posted address number shall be no more than seven feet above the ground and no less than three feet above the ground.
