(A) In instances of new construction, the owner, occupant or agent of each house, building or other structure who was assigned a street number through the permitting process shall place the assigned street number on the structure prior to occupancy.
(B) Costs and installation of the street number is not the responsibility of the city but rather the property owner. Residential district street numbers must not be less than six inches in height. Commercial business district street numbers must not be less than eight inches in height. Numbers on both residential and commercial structures must have at least a minimum stroke width of one inch (25.5 mm) and shall not be spelled out. 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 50 feet from the street, the assigned street number must also be placed near the walk, drive, or common entrance to the structure location in a way that it is clearly visible from the road. The numbers may also be placed upon a 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 on any road-side mailbox.
(D) In instances where an address is assigned to one lot, using the guidelines set forth in § 102.03(A)(4)(d), 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.
