The Fire Code requires address numbers but only inspects Class I structures and not One and Two family Structures. If this is a rental property a complaint inspection can be scheduled to verify address numbers. If this is an owner occupied structure the there is no enforcement available except possibly the Post Office

I can not find a requirement for Owner Occupied Residences to have addresses posted. Does the Fire Department have any requirements?
