RE: 1966 Colfax St
Dear Property Owner:
It has been brought to our attention that the building at the above address does not have any house
numbers as near as possible to the main entrance. This is a violation of the following Blair City Code:
Sec. 8-306 MARKING PREMISES. It is hereby made the duty of the owner, agent, lessee or occupant
of any principal building in the City to place or cause to be installed and maintained on all buildings and
premises which are used for residential, commercial or industrial purposes a proper number in a
conspicuous place as near as possible to the main entrance thereto so that it is plainly visible from the
street extending in front of said building. In the case of a building or premises that contains occupancy
by multiple parties and is served by separate or individual exterior doors, the apartment or unit
number(s) or range of numbers must also be installed and maintained on the building along with the
assigned address number so that both are plainly visible from the street extending in front of said
building and placed in a conspicuous place as near as possible to the appropriate entrance thereto.The
figures of all new numbers installed after January 1, 2011 shall be not less than four (4") inches in
height. No number shall be less than three (3") inches in height. Each figure shall be plain, legible and
of contrasting color with its background upon which they appear and shall be maintained in such
condition at all times. (Amended by Ordinance 2122 08/08/2007; Ordinance 2196 11/23/2010)
Proper address markings are necessary for life and safety reasons in the event that an E911 call is
made to the property. A first responder needs to be able to quickly determine the location of a citizen,
whether they are in a single-unit dwelling or a multiple-unit facility.
Please fix this violation within 15 days from the date of this letter. Another inspection will take place
then. If you have any questions or need additional clarification or time, please feel free to contact me.
i
Thank you for your efforts in complying with the life-safety issue.
