Sec. C6-3. How and when to affix number; size of numbers.

Within 120 days after receipt of such written notification [of the assigned number] from the Director, the owner or occupant of a house to which a number has been assigned shall affix the number so assigned to such house to the same; that is, he shall affix such number in a conspicuous manner in a conspicuous place, either at the main entrance to said house from the street, road or highway on which the same is located, or upon some place on the house itself which is readily visible from such street, road or highway, and so as to be easily observed by anyone passing thereon.

The number so affixed shall be at least 1 3/4 inches in height, and of a normally proportioned width.

It shall be the duty of such owner or occupant at once upon affixing the new number as aforesaid to remove from said house or house entrance or any other place where the same may be affixed any different number which might be mistaken for or confused with the house number assigned to said house by the Director.

The Director, with the concurrence of the postmaster of the affected postal area, may extend the 120-day period of compliance required by this section when he finds that an unnecessary hardship could result from compliance within the 120-day period. Any extension granted by the Director shall be in writing.
