Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 113.090, compliant property operators ensure that the city-assigned street number is mounted in a prominent, street-facing position on each building. The numerals used are at least four inches in height and are chosen or painted to stand out clearly against the background surface — for example, light numbers on a dark wall or vice versa. Operators periodically check that signage has not faded, been obscured by vegetation, or otherwise become difficult to read from the road.
