[R.O. 2006 §500.100; Ord. No. 1137 §2, 6-14-1993]
There shall be one (1) number allowed for every fifty (50) feet
of vacant ground, building, house or structure, except in the business
section where there shall be a number for every door. There shall
be a full number assigned for any building, house or structure of
fifty (50) feet in width or for every door in the business section.
There shall also be assigned a half number for any building, house
or structure passageway leading from any street or rear of premises
less than fifty (50) feet in width. There shall also be assigned a
full number with letter "A" for any entrance leading directly from
any highway to any second (2nd) floor apartment regardless of the
purpose for which said apartment is to be used. All said numbering
shall be done as directed by the City. All numbers shall be assigned
to meet the said door openings as nearly as possible.
[R.O. 2006 §500.110; Ord. No. 1137 §3, 6-14-1993]
The responsibility for the proper numbering of each house, building
or other structure on the street front and, if there be an alley entrance,
also at the alley entrance to the premises on which a said house,
building or other structure is located shall rest upon its owner,
trustee, lessor, agent or occupant who shall cause the same to be
numbered. The number shall be placed either on the front transom bar,
front transom glass or front show window over or on either side of
the entrance, the said numbers to be of paint or metal and at least
three (3) inches in height, the color of the numbers to be in contrast
with the immediate background and shall be so placed as to be in full
view from the opposite side of the street. It shall further be unlawful
to cover any house number with any sign, drapery or other structure
tending to conceal such number. All old numbers must be removed from
any house, building or other structure when a new number has been
assigned or when so directed by the City. The house number shall be
placed conspicuously at the said alley entrance, the same to be of
paint or metal figures not less than two (2) inches high. The numbering
or renumbering of any house, building or other structure and the alley
entrance thereof shall be in accordance with directions of the City.

The owner or owners of any building now in process of erection
shall so attach said numbers as above prescribed prior to the occupation
or use of said buildings or dwellings. At the time of application
for a building permit and payment of the applicable fee, the City
Clerk shall designate the number or numbers assigned to said building
or dwelling, taking said number or numbers from the plat prepared
by the City Engineer. The owner or owners shall have the duty of placing
numbers on said buildings or dwellings prior to the occupation or
use of said buildings or dwellings as prescribed in this Article.
