A. 

The Building Commissioner may issue citations for violations of these regulations.

B. 

A failure to respond to properly issued citations or the issuance of three or more citations for a sign shall be construed as a major violation subject to a fine of not more than $100. Each day that such violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.

C. 

Continued violation, even with payment of penalties, for a period of 60 days, shall be grounds for removal of the sign(s) in question, following the procedures for illegal signs.

Applicants for signs who have previously had penalties for illegal signs may be required to post a deposit of not more than $500 per sign for new permits. The Building Commissioner shall review the sign one year from the issuance of a permit and either issue a certificate of compliance, release the deposit, or order necessary corrective action utilizing the deposited funds, with any remaining funds and a full accounting of monies spent returned to the applicant.
