The Building Official shall have and hereby is given the authority to assign street numbers to buildings or houses within the City limits in such manner and according to such plans as he shall deem appropriate.

In the event any building, house or structure within the limits of the City shall be incorrectly numbered or unnumbered, or the number thereof shall have become defaced or illegible, it shall be the duty of the owner or occupant thereof to cause the same to be numbered correctly within ten (10) days after notification so to do, given by or under the direction of the Building Inspector. Such notice shall be served by leaving a copy thereof at the building or house in charge of any person therein, addressed to the owner or occupant of the building or house, or it may be given by posting such notice on the door or at the entranceway of the building or house.

The expense of numbering buildings, houses or structures in the City shall be borne by the owner, occupant or other person in control thereof.
