A sign, in existence by virtue of a regular permit or a special permit issued under
this section or a previous sign ordinance, that has fallen into disrepair, as determined
by the building commissioner, shall not be cause for its removal, but shall be cause
for the building commissioner to issue an order for its repair. The building commissioner
shall notify the sign owner in writing, specifying the corrective action to be taken,
and further specifying a 30-day period to complete the repairs to the sign. If the
sign, in existence by virtue of a regular permit, has not been repaired within the
30-day period the building commissioner shall revoke the permit and order the sign
removed within 15 days. If the sign has not been removed within the 15-day period
the building commissioner shall cause the sign to be removed forthwith. All expenses
for the removal shall be borne by the owner of the sign. If the sign, in existence
by virtue of a special permit, has not been repaired within the 30-day period the
building commissioner shall petition the city council to revoke the special permit.

3.

If the building commissioner determines that a sign is an immediate threat to public
safety, irrespective of any stays granted to the sign owner in section 94-305, the
building commissioner may cause any sign, abandoned or not, and any portion of its
support structure if deemed part of the public threat, to be immediately removed,
and/or the threatened public area cordoned off. All expenses for protecting the public,
including the removal of stabilization of the public safety threat, shall be borne
by the sign owner. A sign which is not abandoned may be returned to its original position,
but only after repairs have been made and the public safety threat abated.
