improvement as to be conspicuous and visible from street, road, avenue,
lane or way on which it fronts or from which access to it is had.
B.
If the said dwelling, store or other improvement has such a setback location that the provision of Subsection A cannot be complied with, then the owner or occupant shall provide a post, rod or other type of fixture of a substantial nature, with the number affixed thereon and located on the premises, so that the number shall be conspicuous and visible from the street, road, avenue, lane or way on which the premises front or from which access to it is had.

10 days after date of such notice. If, after receipt of said notice,
the parties to whom the notice has been sent have failed to comply
with terms of the chapter, the Mayor and Council reserve the right
to designate the person or persons to install street number signs
according to the provisions of this chapter, and the charge for said
installation shall be added to the tax bill and said charge be considered
a lien on property on which street numbering was installed.
