[Ord. No. 46, § 1]

[Ord. No. 46, § 1]
If a sign, advertising device or marquee, erected or maintained
under a permit issued under the provisions of this division, is to
be taken down or removed, notice to do so shall first be given in
writing to the inspector of buildings, and the taking down and the

regulations from the standpoint of public safety. The inspector of
buildings, after completion of such taking down or removal, shall
notify the city clerk in writing that a sign, advertising device or
marquee, erected under the terms of a particular permit, has been
taken down or removed.
[Ord. No. 46, § 1; Ord. No. 592, § 1]
The inspector of buildings shall inspect annually each sign,
advertising device or marquee covered by a permit issued under this
division, or erected or placed prior to August 16, 1940, and projecting
over a public way for a distance of at least 12 inches. He shall report
to the city council any such object whose position or condition renders
it dangerous to public safety, whereupon the city council may order
the immediate alteration or removal thereof; provided, however, that
neither this section nor any other provisions of this article shall
be held to diminish the power and discretion of the city council heretofore
existent to direct the alteration or removal of any such sign, advertising
device, marquee or other structure. The inspector of buildings shall
have the power and authority to order the immediate alteration or
removal of any such sign, advertising device or marquee if he shall
deem such summary action necessary for the public safety. The inspector
of buildings shall order the removal of any sign, advertising device
or marquee when the city clerk shall notify him that the permit therefor

projecting over a public way for a distance of at least 12 inches,
though legally erected or placed prior to the effective date hereof,
is subsequently to such date, by reason of damage, destruction, rearrangement
or change of letters, words or device thereon, or for any other reason,
obliged to be substantially repaired, reconstructed or altered, then
such repaired, reconstructed or altered sign, advertising device or
marquee is to be regarded as placed subsequent to the effective date
hereof, and subject to the provisions of this division applying to
signs, advertising devices or marquees placed or maintained subsequent
to the effective date hereof.
