[Code 1992, § 8.15(1)]
There is established a uniform system of numbering houses and
buildings fronting on all streets, avenues and public ways in the
City, and all houses and buildings shall be numbered in accordance
with the provisions of this article.
[Code 1992, § 8.15]
If the owner or occupant of any building required to be numbered by this article shall neglect for more than 30 days to attach and maintain the proper number of such building, the Building Inspector may cause to be served upon him the notice requiring such owner or occupant to properly number the building. If he neglects to do so for 10 days after the serving of such notice, he shall be deemed to have violated this article. Penalty for violation shall be in accordance with Section 1-12.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(2)]
The lakeshore and its extension shall constitute the baseline
for numbering along all streets running north and south, and Curtis
Street shall constitute the baseline for numbering all streets running
east and west.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(3)]
(a)
The numbering for each street shall begin at the baseline. The numbers
in the first block shall be from 100 to 199, the second block 200
to 299, the third block 300 to 399, etc. There shall be assigned 100
numbers to each block, square or space that would be one block or
square, if streets or grid lines each way were so extended as to intersect
each other. One number shall be assigned to each 15 feet or 20 feet
of frontage, whichever is more applicable.
(b)
All lots and houses on the south and west side of all streets shall
be numbered with even numbers, and all lots and houses on the north
and east side of all streets shall be numbered with odd numbers, each
commencing with the 100 assigned to that block and shall increase
from the baseline one number for each 15 feet or 20 feet of frontage
or fraction thereof. Where any building has more than one door serving
separate occupants, a separate number shall be assigned to each door
serving a separate occupant, provided the building is 25 feet or more
in width. If the building is not 25 feet or more in width and the
entrances are not that far apart, the next consecutive number shall
be used. Buildings fronting on two or more streets shall have a number
fronting on the street to which the number is assigned.
(c)
All streets or grid lines not extending through to the baseline shall
be assigned the same relative numbers as if the street or grid line
had extended to the baseline.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(4)]
(a)
The City has caused a survey to be made and there is hereby assigned
to each house and building located on any street, alley, highway or
avenue in such City a respective number under the uniform system provided
for in this article as shown on the map designated as the "House Numbering
Map." Within 60 days after the effective date of the ordinance from
which this section is derived, the owner, occupant or agent shall
place or cause to be placed upon each house or building controlled
by him the numbers assigned under the uniform system provided for
in this article.
(b)
The cost of such numbers shall be paid for by the property owner,
and such numbers and holders shall be furnished by the owner.
(c)
Numbers shall be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or at
the side of the proper door of each building so the number can be
plainly seen 75 feet from the street. Whenever any building is situated
more than 75 feet from the street line, the number of such building
shall be conspicuously displayed on an appropriate post out to the
sidewalk or roadway so as to be easily discernible.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(5)]
(a)
Where only one number can be assigned to any house or building, the
owner, occupant or agent of such house or building who desires distinctive
numbers for the upper and lower portion of the house or building or
any part of such house or building fronting on any street, shall use
a numerical suffix such as the number 1, number 2, etc.
(b)
Where only one number is assigned to a group of buildings, such as
a cluster development, the owner, occupant or agent of the group of
buildings desiring distinctive numbers for each building may use the
suffix "building 1," "building 2," etc. as may be required. Where
separate unit numbers are desired within a building within a group,
the suffix "building 1, unit 1," "building 1, unit 2," etc., may be
used as required.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(6)]
For the purpose of facilitating correct numbering, a copy of
the map showing the proper number of all lots or houses fronting upon
all streets, avenues or highways shall be kept on file in the office
of the Building Inspector. This map shall be open to inspection by
all persons during the office hours of the Building Inspector.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(7)]
The Building Inspector shall inform any party applying thereof
of the numbers belonging to or embraced within the limits of such
lot or property as provided in this article. In case of doubt as to
the proper number to be assigned to any lot or building, the Building
Inspector shall determine the number of each lot or building.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(8)]
Whenever any house, building or structure shall hereafter be
erected or located in the City, the owner shall procure the number
so assigned upon such building, as provided by this article. No building
permit shall be issued for any house, building or structure until
the owner has procured from the Building Inspector the official number
of the premises.
[Code 1992, § 8.15(9)]
All police officers of the City shall report any violation of
this article.
