(A) All permanent buildings and tenements in and upon the streets, shopping centers, driveways and parking areas of the city, whether residential, commercial or industrial, shall be adequately and properly identified for the purpose of facilitating the rendering of public services by the Fire, Police and Public Service Departments.
(B) All buildings and structures shall display a street address number, posted near the entrance door or walkway facing the street. All figures shall be at least three inches in height on a contrasting background so as to be clearly visible and legible from the streets, driveways and parking areas upon which the house, building or tenement abuts. In addition to the street address numbers near the entrance door, every building unit located more than 75 feet from the street shall also display a set of clearly visible street address numbers, as herein prescribed, near the driveway entrance to the building unit. In the event of special circumstances due to the location of the building unit, entrance or driveway, the Fire Chief shall determine where the street address numbers shall be displayed to facilitate ready location of the building unit. In the event that script numbers are used, an additional set of block-type Arabic numerals shall appear in a conspicuous place. The numerals shall be at least three inches in height and sufficient in width so as to be readily discernible from the street.
(C) It shall be mandatory for a newly constructed building that the numbers be on display, as required in this section, on completion of the building.
