§ 117-3. General specifications.

The numbers shall be in figures, a minimum of three inches, mounted in a secure fashion to the front wall of the building or to the porch or other fixed appurtenance in front of the building, in the general vicinity of the main entry way or main path of travel which leads to the main entrance from the street, road or alley, or otherwise separately mounted upon the face of a wall or upon a post in the front yard of the premises. The numbers shall be placed so that trees, shrubs and other obstructions do not block the line of sight of the number from the center of the street or main traveled way to any appreciable degree. The numbers shall be of material and color so as to provide the greatest contrast with the background to which they are affixed. The numbers shall not be located on any doors which may be obscured for part of the year by a storm door nor on any door which may, from time to time, stand open. The numbers shall not be figured in a style the elements of which might tend to confuse their interpretation.
