It shall be the duty of the owner or owners of any residence to maintain
the proper identification in close proximity to the door facing the street

any residence now in course of erection or hereinafter erected within said
borough to display and maintain proper identification in close proximity to
the door facing the street prior to occupancy as authorized by the ordinances
