Upon the issuance of a building permit for construction
of a structure by the Code Enforcement Officer, the Fire Department

and shall be in contrasting color to the color of the structure.
(2)
The number shall be displayed in such a manner as
to be readily visible from the adjacent public road or highway.
(3)
The number shall be placed upon the structure so that
it will not be obstructed in any way and wherever practicable shall
be placed near some illumination, so that it may be readily seen at
night.
B.
In addition to the other requirements of this article,
whenever any structure is more than 75 feet from the public road or
highway, the 911 Arabic number shall be displayed in a manner in conformity
with the article, on a sign, post or a mail box readily visible from

On all commercial structures (industrial, institutional,
educational, mercantile, storage, assembly and business), the 911
Arabic number shall be displayed over the front entrance. If this
is not practicable, then the Fire Marshal shall determine placement
of the number.

Any owner of a structure within the City of Oneida
who fails or refuses or neglects to place the proper designated enhanced
91l Arabic numbers on said structure, for a period of 30 days after
issuance of a notice of violation from the Fire Department, shall
be deemed in violation of this article.
B.
The notice of violation provided for in Subsection A may be given by personal service, or by mailing a copy thereof to the last known address of the owner.
