[Adopted 9-28-2000 by Ord. No. 1274 (Ch. 46, Art. IV, of
the 1972 Code)]
The affixing and display of an emblem identifying property as
truss construction is required by the owner of any multifamily apartment,
townhouses, commercial or industrial buildings on the front of said
structures.
The emblem shall be a bright and reflective color or made of
reflective material. The colors or reflective material shall be such
that the emblem presents some visible contrast to the building face
to which it is attached, so that such emblem is reasonably visible
in the event of fire. The shape of the emblem shall be an isosceles
triangle and the size shall be 12 inches horizontally by six inches
vertically. The following letters, of a size and color to make them
conspicuous, shall be printed on the emblem: "F" to signify a floor
with truss construction; "R" to signify a roof with truss construction;
or "F/R" to signify both a floor and roof with truss construction.
Owners of properties presently in existence at the time of this
article shall have 90 days within which to affix said emblems. Owners
of properties presently being constructed shall have emblems affixed
immediately. The emblem shall be permanently affixed to the left of
the main entrance door at a height between four to six feet above
the ground and shall be installed and maintained by the owner of the
building. Individual structures and dwelling units with truss construction
which are part of a cluster development shall not be required to have
an identifying emblem if there is one affixed at each entranceway
to the development.
Any person who shall be convicted of a violation of any of the
provisions of this article before any Magisterial District Judge shall
be sentenced to pay a maximum fine as provided from time to time by
state statute, together with costs of prosecution, or to imprisonment
in the county jail for a term not to exceed 30 days, or both. Each
day during which any person violates any provisions of the article
shall constitute a separate offense.
