9 TOWN OF VESTAL Building Construction Code Enforcement Fire Codes 133 Front Street. Vestal. New York Phone {607} Fax (607) ADDRESS NUMBERS REQURED ON ALL BULDNGS Dear Property Owner or Resident,,, :! The Building and Property Maintenance Codes of New York State, have a number of requirements that are applicable to existing buildings as well as new buildings. One of the more practical issues that is now a requirement is the identification of premises paragraph, contained within the Property Maintenance Code. This section requires that: "Buildings shall have approved address numbers placed in a position to be plainly legible and visible from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters. Numbers shall be a minimum of 4 inches high with a minimum stroke width of Y2 inch." Although this places an additional burden on us all, clearly this is a positive issue and will ultimately result in a safer atmosphere for our town. Please take the necessary steps to bring your properties into compliance. f you have questions, please contact us at (607) Thank you for your help in keeping you safe! The Code Enforcement Office

10 TOWN OF VESTAL Building Construction Code Enforcement Fire Codes 133 Front Street. Vestal. New York Phone (607) Fax (607) /13/2004 Notice With the phase-out of chromated copper arsenate (CCA) as a wood preservative in lumber, there has arisen some concern in regards to the type of fasteners to use on new construction. t is suggested that with the new preservatives used, alkaline copper quaternary (ACO) and ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate (ACZA), the metal hangers and fasteners may be corroding faster then normal, possibly up to four times faster. t is recommended that at minimum, one should use hot-dipped galvanized, and where possible stainless steel fasteners and hangers should be used. t is cautioned to not mix the two different types of metals as they react with one another and degrade the galvanized coating. With ACZA it is recommended that only stainless steel fasteners and hangers be used. Take note that these are only recommendations and are not required by the Building Codes of NYS. Town of Vestal Building Department (nformation from, "New Wood Treatments May Be More Corrosive", Journal of Light Construction, September, 2003, pg. 23)
