§ 907.01. Manner and system.

(A)

All the business houses and dwellings situated within the corporate limits shall be numbered in the manner according to the system prescribed in this chapter.

(B)

The owner, agent, lessee, occupant, or other person having control of any building in the city upon a street to which street numbers of buildings have been assigned shall cause the proper arabic numbers to be placed on and continuously maintained on the fanlight, transom, door, entrance, steps or gate, or conspicuous place on the front of such building in such a manner that the number may at all times be legible and visible from the street pavement in front of such building. If a building stands back more than forty-five (45) feet from the lot line, the number shall be conspicuously displayed at or near the walk, driveway, or common entrance to such building at the street line or a gate post, fence, tree, or post, or other appropriate place so as to be legible and visible from the street pavement. As used in this section "front" means that side of the building which faces the street on which the number of the building or premises on which such building is situated, has been allotted, and that the number shall be displayed on such side of such building or premises.

(C)

No person without just cause shall remove, alter or deface any house number properly assigned and placed on or near a building, nor shall any person without just cause place or retain on any building any number other than the one duly assigned if such additional number could reasonably be mistaken for the assigned street number.

(D)

No person shall negligently fail to install or maintain the proper numbers as required by this chapter.
