A flyer taped to mailboxes in Papillion on Wednesday left some wondering if they're required to have their house number painted on the curb.
Under the heading of "Neighborhood Project," the flyer prominently says "Don't Be In Violation" before citing an international model fire code commonly implemented by cities: Your home must have the address number visible from the street.
But the city of Papillion confirmed with KETV on Wednesday that having your house address number on the curb doesn't satisfy city code. It must be on the home and visible from the street.
However, residents are free to have the number painted on the curb if they'd like, a city official said.
Several in the neighborhood opted to pay the $30 for it. As the flyer points out, it might help first responders or delivery drivers identify the proper house, especially at night.
The flyer says the business does not collect money unless the customer is satisfied.
KETV happened to find a man fulfilling the orders for the curb paintings while in the neighborhood Wednesday.
After explaining to a Papillion resident how she can help keep the paint in good condition and collecting the discounted $27 senior rate, he told KETV he travels from community to community for it because he wants to make neighborhoods safer and more beautiful.
