By-law No. 1/2008 54 PART 7 ADDRESSES AND BUILDING NAMES Street address and name to be attached to building 83(1) Subject to this section, the owner of a principal building must ensure that the number assigned to and any name approved for the building under this Part is attached to the building or otherwise posted on the property so as to be clearly visible from the street on which it is located. 83(2)

Where a principal building on a property is in a location that results in a building number or name not being clearly visible from the street, the number assigned to and name approved for the building must be both attached to the building and displayed in another form that is clearly visible from the street. Where more than one principal building is located on a single property, the requirement that the numbers be displayed in another form that is clearly visible from the street may be met by displaying the range of building numbers on that property. 83(3)

Where a property is adjacent to a back lane, the number assigned to the building must be attached to the building or to a fence or accessory structure so as to be clearly visible from the back lane. 83(4) Building numbers required to be attached or displayed by in this section must be at least 8 cm (3 inches) in height and of a colour that contrasts with the colour of the structure to which it is attached so as to be clearly visible. 83(5) The owner of a building must ensure that no other numbers or names are attached to the building that could be confused with the numbers assigned or names approved under this Part. 83(6) The owner of a building must ensure that the number assigned to a building under this Part is clearly visible from the street while the building is under construction.

• (a) where a street terminates at a river, the numbering of buildings on the street should begin at the river;
• (b) the numbering of buildings on parallel streets should correspond to each other. 84(3) A designated employee may change the number assigned to a building to correct an error or to mitigate any confusion or inconvenience. By-law No. 1/2008 55 Building names to be approved by designated employee 85(1) The owner of an apartment block, high rise condominium or commercial building, must not
• (a) name or rename the building;
• (b) attach a name to the building or otherwise post it on the property;

unless the name has first been approved for use on that building by the designated employee. 85(2) The designated employee must approve the use of a building name unless it is the same as, or is likely to cause confusion with, the approved or commonly-used name of another building or place in the City of Winnipeg or would be offensive to a person of ordinary sensibilities. 85(3) The designated employee may require that the name approved for a building under this section be changed in order to correct an error or to mitigate any confusion or inconvenience. 85(4)

Where the designated employee acts under subsection (3), he or she must notify the owner of the building of this action and order the owner to remove the existing name from the building within a reasonable period of time. By-law No. 1/2008 56 PART 8 BOULEVARD MAINTENANCE Definitions
