If that notice reads no trespassing or soliciting allowed, the solicitor, whether registered or not, must immediately and peacefully depart from the premises, and the same duty to leave applies the moment an occupant asks, even if the solicitor was invited in (Sec. 12-258(b)). Ringing a doorbell, knocking, or making any sound meant to get an occupant's attention in defiance of the notice exhibited at the residence is separately declared unlawful and a nuisance under Sec.
12-259, independent of any registration violation. Sec. or at any time on a Sunday, and on nine named holidays, including New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day and the day after Christmas, and this hours rule is likewise declared a nuisance rather than a mere ordinance violation.
