Hazardous or obsolete signs

No sign, whether new or existing, shall hereafter be erected or altered, except in conformity with the provisions of this ordinance. However, notwithstanding any provisions contained herein, the sign must be kept clean, neatly painted and free from all hazards such as, but not limited to, faulty wiring, loose fastenings, and must be maintained at all times in such safe condition so as not to be detrimental to the public health or safety.

No sign shall be erected or maintained which advertises a product, use or activity no longer available, for sale or in use, on the premises. Such obsolete signs shall be removed within 60 days after the date they become obsolete. In the event of a violation of any of the foregoing provisions of this section, the zoning inspector shall give written notice, specifying the violation to the named owner of the sign and to the named owner of the land upon which the sign is erected, sent to their last known addresses, as set forth in the records of the town, directing them to cause any such sign to conform to the provisions of this ordinance, or to remove any such sign within 60 days from the date of said notice.
