[Adopted 4-18-1995 by Ord. No. 101]
All buildings situated or hereafter erected and located on any
of the streets, avenues, and public highways, except alleys, within
the City shall be numbered by the owners or occupants thereof according
to the plan now on file with the City Clerk.
Numbers of buildings as required by this chapter shall not be
changed without the consent of the City Council, and it shall be the
duty of the City Council to adjust numbers or renumber the streets
of the City from time to time as the same may be required.
Each of the figures of each number required by this chapter
shall be at least three inches in length being so marked as to be
easily and distinctly read. Such number shall be placed on, above,
or immediately to the side of the front entrance door or else at some
other or more conspicuous place on the front of the building to serve
the purpose for which it is intended.
For the purpose of facilitating a correct enumeration, a plat
of all streets, avenues, and public highways within the City showing
the proper numbers of all lots or houses fronting upon all such streets
and highways, except alleys, shall be prepared and kept on file in
the office of the City Clerk, which plat shall be open during the
office hours of the City Clerk to the inspection of any owner or occupant
of any building desiring to know the proper numbering of his buildings.
Any person being the owner or occupant of any building now erected
or that may hereafter be erected in the City, who shall, for 30 days
after notice by the Ordinance Enforcement Officer of the proper numbering
of such building, neglect or refuse to number any building owned or
occupied by him, in conformity with the provisions of this chapter
and with the plan for numbering buildings as provided by this chapter,
shall be subject to the penalties provided by Section 1-6 of
this Code and a similar penalty for every 30 days thereafter that
he shall neglect or refuse to number such building.
