§ 12-4-7. Defacing or injuring streets—Painting house numerals on curb.
Latest version.
It is unlawful for any person to disturb, deface, injure, damage or alter the face
of any street, thoroughfare or public place unless he or she shall have first obtained
a permit from the city engineer as provided for by section 12-8-1; provided, further, that painting of numerals of the legally assigned house number
on the curb immediately in front of a building or structure shall not be an act prohibited
in this section when conforming to the following specifications: no deviation shall
be allowed from use of standard block Arabic numerals, and no other embellishments,
background coloring (other than white, immediately beneath numerals in an area not
to exceed five inches in height and 24 inches in length), nor any script lettering
shall accompany the numerals.
In the event the city should inadvertently or advertently remove or deface numerals
so placed on street curbs, the city assumes no responsibility for the replacement
or maintenance of such numbering and all maintenance or replacement remains the responsibility
of the owner/occupant.
