(D) The numbers shall be affixed to the structure or upon a post which is visible from the approaching emergency vehicles and able to withstand the elements.
(E) That the owner of each residence, office or business shall be responsible for placement of each numbered address on his or her property within sixty (60) days of the passage of this chapter or within ten (10) days of new occupancy, if the new occupancy occurs after the initial sixty (60) day grace period.
(F) If the numbered address is not properly placed within the aforementioned time period, the city may, in its discretion, through a duly appointed and designated representative of the Mayor's office, send written notice to the property owner, occupant or building manager of the real property requiring placement of the numbered address within ten (10) days.
