(a) Buildings to have street numbers. Each principal building in the village shall be assigned to an official street number by the Village Administrator, Clerk, or highest elected official, as appropriate. All lots and parts of lots in the village shall be numbered in accordance with a street numbering map on file in the office of the Village Administrator, Clerk, or highest elected official, as appropriate. Plats shall be numbered to conform as nearly as possible to the general scheme of numbering as outlined on the map.
(b) Street numbers to be displayed. The owner, occupant, or agent in charge of the premises shall cause to be affixed and to be maintained when so affixed to each principal building controlled by him or her the official street number assigned to that building as provided in subsection (a) above. The physical numbers provided herein shall be not less than two and one-half inches high on a background of not less than three inches. Each required number shall be affixed on the particular building in such a location that it may be easily and readily seen by a person of ordinary eyesight on the public street or highway upon which the building abuts. For buildings abutting also on a public alley, the street number shall also be affixed in such location that it may be seen in like manner from such alley.
(c) Noncompliance. If the owner or occupant of any building neglects for 20 days to duly attach and maintain the proper numbers on the building, the village shall serve him or her a notice requiring him or her to properly number the same, and if he or she neglects to do so for ten days after service, he or she shall be subject to a forfeiture as provided in § 1-1-6.
