§ 185-104
Unsafe or abandoned signs
- A. If the Building Official shall find that any sign is unsafe or insecure, is a menace to the public or has been abandoned, they shall give written notice to the owner, agent or person having the beneficial use of the premises upon which such sign may be erected. A sign shall be considered to be abandoned if it contains information that is no longer descriptive of the business or use of the building or land to which it is associated, or is unused, and has met either of these conditions for a period of 90 days or more.
- B. If such owner, agent or person fails to remove or alter the sign so as to comply with the standards herein set forth within 10 days after such notice, such sign or other advertising structure may be removed or altered to comply by the Building Official at the expense of the owner, agent or person having the beneficial use of the premises upon which such sign may be erected. The Building Official may cause any sign or advertising structure which is an immediate peril to persons or property to be removed summarily and without notice.
