(A) In instances of new construction, the owner, occupant or agent of each house, building or other structure assigned a street number through the permit process shall place or cause to be placed the street number on the house, building or other structure prior to occupancy.
(B) Costs and installation of the street number must be paid for by the property owner or occupant. Residential district street numbers must not be less than three inches in height. Commercial business district street numbers must not be less than four inches in height. All numbers must be made of a durable clearly visible material and must contrast with the color of the surface on which they are mounted.
(C) Street numbers must be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or to the side of the appropriate door so that the number is clearly visible from the street. In cases where the structure is situated more than 100 feet from the street, the assigned street number must also be placed near the walk, drive or common entrance to the structure location or upon the mailbox, gatepost, fence or other appropriate place so as to be clearly visible from the street of the assigned address. U.S. Postal Regulations for Mail Receptacles, D041-2.3, requires the assigned street number to be posted also on the road side mail box.
(D) In instances where an address is assigned to one lot, using the guidelines set forth in § 102.03(A)(4)(i) (such as an apartment or business complex), and this complex has a main entrance, the assigned street number shall be placed at the main entrance. Every unit or building in the complex shall be identified (posted) with its assigned unit or building number.
