A. Method Of Numbering: All lots, buildings and structures in the city shall be numbered in accordance with the following plan:
1. Main Street shall be the base line for east and west numbers and State Street for north and south numbers.
2. Odd numbers shall be on the north and west sides of the streets; even numbers shall be on the south and east sides of the streets.
3. There shall be one hundred (100) numbers to each block.
B. Numbers Required: It shall be the duty of the owners and occupants of every building in the city to have placed thereon, in a place visible from the street, figures at least two and one-half inches (21/2") high, showing the number of the house.
C. Multiple-Unit Buildings: All multiple-unit buildings with four (4) or less units and all residential townhouse units shall be assigned a separate street address number for each unit providing there are sufficient numbers available; and, all other multiple-unit buildings with more than four (4) units shall be assigned one street address number with letter suffixes for individual designations.
D. Penalties: Any person failing to so number any house, building or other structure occupied by him, or if after receiving notice to do so from the clerk, shall continue in his failure to so number such house, building or structure, shall be subject to penalty as provided in the City of Sycamore Consolidated Fee Schedule.
E. Curb House Numbers: In addition to the numbering required on buildings in the city of Sycamore, a building owner may cause the same house number to be placed on the curb at the street in front of the main entrance to the building. The curb house numbers shall be four inches (4") high; the numbers shall be white on a black background; the paint shall be oil-based and iridescent; and, the house number shall be near the driveway curb cut so it will not be blocked from view by parked vehicles. Persons offering or selling services to paint house numbers on city curbs shall be considered "solicitors" and shall be licensed according to the provisions of section 3-4-2 of this code.
