(c)
The
numbers shall be conspicuously placed on, above, or at the side of
the main entrance so that the number is distinguishable and legible
from the street. Where the entrance of a building or dwelling unit

of these regulations should the building or dwelling unit be marked
in such a way as to make these requirements moot and unnecessary.
