Upon issuance of an occupancy permit, the property owner shall permanently
display the address number by mounting it on the street side of the

for repair or replacement of the same.
If the Building Inspector or Director of Public
Works finds that any provision of this chapter is being violated,
he shall notify the property owner in writing, by certified mail,
of the violation and direct that the property owner correct all violations
