It shall be unlawful for any person, whether licensed or unlicensed, while conducting the business of a solicitor or peddler, to enter upon any residential premises in the City where the owner, occupant or person legally in charge of the premises has posted, at the entry to the premises, or at the entry to the principal building on the premises, a sign bearing the words "No Peddlers", "No Solicitors", or words of similarly import. ...

Full Breakdown
Article II of Chapter 7, Itinerant Merchants, governs door-to-door sales and solicitation citywide. Section 7-36 makes it unlawful for any solicitor or peddler, licensed or not, to enter a residential property once the owner or occupant has posted a 'No Peddlers' or 'No Solicitors' sign, or other wording of similar import, at the entrance to the premises or to the main building. m. Both rules apply on top of the article's licensing scheme, which requires a peddler or solicitor to obtain a permit from the director of community development (§§ 7-29 through 7-31), display it on request to any prospective customer, department employee, or police officer (§ 7-34), and carry it for no more than six months before it expires (§ 7-33).
A city police officer may demand that any unfamiliar solicitor produce the permit and can enforce the article against anyone found violating it (§ 7-41). The director of community development can also revoke or suspend a permit after notice and a hearing (§ 7-38). The posted-sign rule and sunset curfew apply regardless of whether the solicitor holds a valid permit, so a permit does not override a resident's posted no-solicitation sign or the after-dark cutoff.
Violations & Fines
Entering a posted property or knocking after sunset and before 8:00 a.m. violates sections 7-36 and 7-37 of the itinerant merchants article, and this is unlawful regardless of whether the solicitor is licensed. Because the article sets no specific fine, violations are punished under the city's general penalty, section 1-15, up to $500 per offense, with each day of a continuing violation counted separately, and a permit already issued can be revoked under section 7-38.
