The number placed upon any entrance shall be at least one and three-quarter inches (13/4") in height and of a width in proportion.
If the owner or occupant of any building or house in the City shall fail to cause the main door or any street entrance thereof to be properly numbered, as herein provided, for ten (10) days after receiving notice in writing from the Engineer to cause such door or entrance to be numbered, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, that whenever any owner or occupant has been notified to change the existing numbers upon his building or house, the old number may also be temporarily retained for a period not exceeding ninety (90) days after notice to change the same has been made.
