§ 184-154. Sign maintenance.  


Latest version.
  • Any sign that is or shall become dangerous or unsafe in any manner whatsoever shall be repaired, made safe and attractive in conformity with this chapter or shall be removed by the owner, lessor, agent or occupant of the building, property or land upon which it is placed or to which it is attached. A written notice shall be served upon the owner, lessor, agent or occupant of a building, property or land upon which a dangerous or unsafe sign is located by the Construction Official, Building Subcode Official or Zoning Officer. Said notice shall require necessary action to be taken within 10 days from the date of service or the notice upon such person or within such lesser time as shall be deemed reasonable in cases where the danger to the public health, safety and general welfare is so imminent as to require more immediate abatement. All signs shall be painted and maintained in good repair at all times. Failure to keep signs painted, illuminated or in good repair for a period of 90 consecutive days shall constitute abandonment, and such sign may not then be repaired, replaced or reused but shall be removed.
