Vehicles or trailers bearing a business name that are not actively in transportation use must be parked at the rear of the lot or building. 6107 for a billboard once it falls within the definition; the prohibition is citywide and applies regardless of zoning district. 6108: the Chief Building Official inspects signs, can require repair or removal of a noncompliant sign within 30 days of notice, and may order immediate removal at the owner's expense, or remove it without notice, if it is found to endanger public safety or encroach on a right-of-way.
Violations & Fines
Because billboards fall outside every permitted sign category, the Chief Building Official can order removal at the owner's or lessee's expense under § 155.6108 without waiting for the standard 30-day cure period if the structure is found to endanger public safety or encroach on a public right-of-way; otherwise the Building Official must give two weeks' notice before removing it directly.
