| Residential Building Express | REQUIRES RESUBMIT | Provide minimum code lettering size. R308.1 Address identification. Buildings shall be provided with approved address identification. The address identification shall be legible and placed in a position that is visible from the street or road fronting the property. Address identification characters shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. Numbers shall not be spelled out. Each character shall be not less than 4 inches (102 mm) in height with a stroke width of not less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm). Where required by the fire code official, address identification shall be provided in additional approved locations to facilitate emergency response. Where access is by means of a private road and the building address cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure. Address identification shall be maintained. The address requirements are consistent with the IBC and IFC. This code requires buildings to have plainly visible and legible address numbers posted on the building or in such a place on the property that the building may be identified by emergency services, such as fire, medical and police. The primary concern is that emergency forces should be able to locate the building without going through a lengthy search procedure. In furthering the concept, the code states that the approved street numbers must be placed in a location readily visible from the street or roadway fronting the property if a sign on the building would not be visible from the street. Address posting on a mailbox is not adequate for emergency responders when they are grouped or placed across the street from the dwelling. This section also gives the fire code official the authority to require address identification in other locations to facilitate emergency response. |
