The numbers required by this article to be displayed shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or within five (5) feet of either side of the front entrance door of each occupancy, or otherwise as approved by the building safety administrator or his authorized representative to prevent undue hardship, so that the numbers can be clearly discerned from the public or private way. Additional display of address shall be allowed. If an occupancy has no entrance through the side of the occupancy fronting on a public or private way, the numbers required by this article shall be displayed in a location on the front side of the occupancy prescribed by the building official or his authorized representative. Whenever any building is situated more than fifty (50) feet from the near right-of-way line of the public or private way on which it fronts, or when the address number would not be visible from the way, the number shall be conspicuously displayed at the near right-of-way line, near the walk or driveway leading to the entrance to such building upon the curb, a gate post, wall, fence, tree, post or other appropriate place or thing so as to be easily discernible from the way. Address numbers displayed shall be not less than three (3) inches in height, shall be made of a durable and clearly visible material and shall provide good contrast against the immediate background.
