[CC 1979 §61.010]
There is hereby 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.
[CC 1979 §§61.030, 61.040; Ord.
No. 1935 §1, 6-2-1992]
A. The
numbering for each street shall begin at the base line. The numbers
within the first (1st) block shall be from 1 — 99 and the numbers
in each succeeding block shall increase from the base line in units
of one hundred (100), namely, the first (1st) block shall be 1 —
99, the second (2nd) block shall be 100 — 199, the third (3rd)
block shall be 200 — 299, etc. There shall be assigned one hundred
(100) numbers to each block, square or space that would be one (1)
block or square if streets each way were so extended as to intersect
each other and one (1) number shall be assigned to each fifteen (15)
feet of frontage. In blocks or equivalent space longer than seven
hundred fifty (750) feet which is not intersected by a street, if
extended the total length of space divided by fifty (50) shall be
used to determine the feet of frontage assigned to each number.
B. Where
blocks of different length occur on opposite sides of a street, the
numbers on both sides shall be assigned on the basis of the shorter
blocks, unless the Electric Commissioner shall otherwise determine.
C. All lots and houses on the north and west side of all streets shall be numbered with odd numbers, each commencing with the hundred assigned to that block and shall increase from the base line one (1) number for each fifteen (15) feet of frontage or fraction thereof, except as provided in Section
505.160. Where any building has more than one (1) door serving a separate occupant, separate numbers shall be assigned, providing the building is fifteen (15) feet or more in width. If the building is not fifteen (15) feet or more in width and the entrances are not that far apart, the next consecutive number shall be marked fractional. Buildings fronting on two (2) or more streets shall have a number assigned only to the main entrance, unless other entrances serve different occupants.
[CC 1979 §61.050]
All streets not extending through to the base line shall be
assigned the same relative numbers as if the said street had extended
to the said base line.
[CC 1979 §61.060; Ord. No. 1935 §1, 6-2-1992]
A. The
Board of Aldermen shall cause the necessary survey to be made and
there shall be assigned to each house and building located on any
street, avenue, alley or highway in said City its respective number
under the uniform system provided for in this Chapter. When the said
survey shall have been completed and each house and building has been
assigned its respective number or numbers, the owner, occupant or
agent shall place or cause to be placed upon each house/building controlled
by him/her the number or numbers assigned under the uniform system
provided for in this Chapter.
B. The
numbers shall be placed conspicuously above, on or at the side of
the proper door of each building so that the number can be seen plainly
from the street. Whenever any building is situated more than fifty
(50) feet from the street line the number of each such building shall
be conspicuously displayed at the street line near the walk, driveway
or common entrance to such building and upon the gate post, fence,
tree, post or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible
from the sidewalk.
[CC 1979 §61.070]
Where only one (1) number can be assigned to any house or building,
the owner, occupant or agent of such house or building who shall desire
distinctive numbers for the upper and lower portion of any such house
or building or for any part of such house or building fronting on
any street, such owner, occupant or agent shall use the suffix "A",
"B", "C", etc., as may be required.
[CC 1979 §61.090; Ord. No. 1935 §1, 6-2-1992]
It shall be the duty of the Electric Commissioner to inform
any party applying therefore of the number or numbers belonging or
embraced within the limits of said lot or property as provided and
assigned to any lot or building. The Electric Commissioner shall determine
the number of such lot or building.
[CC 1979 §61.100; Ord. No. 1935 §1, 6-2-1992]
Whenever any house, building or structure shall be erected or
located in the City, after the entire work of establishing a uniform
system of house numbering has been completed, in order to preserve
continuity and uniformity it is the duty of the owner to procure the
correct number or numbers as designated from the Electric Commissioner
for the said property and to immediately fasten the said number or
numbers so assigned upon said building as provided by this Chapter.
No building permit shall be issued for any house, building or structure
until the owner has obtained from the Electric Commissioner the official
number of the premises.
[CC 1979 §61.120; Ord. No. 1935 §1, 6-2-1992]
If the owner or occupant of any building required to be numbered
by this Chapter shall neglect for the period of twenty (20) days to
duly attach and maintain the proper number on such building, the Police
Department shall serve upon him/her a notice requiring such owner
or occupant to properly number the same and if he/she neglects to
do so for ten (10) days after the service of such notice, he/she shall
be deemed to have violated this Chapter. Upon conviction thereof he/she
shall be fined not less than one dollar ($1.00) nor more than ten
dollars ($10.00) together with the costs of prosecution and in default
of payment of such forfeiture and costs of prosecution shall be imprisoned
in the City Jail until such fine and costs are paid but not to exceed
thirty (30) days for each violation. Each day that a violation continues
to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
