Any and all properties that are required to be registered as a vacant residential or vacant commercial building pursuant to this chapter, shall within 30 days of the building being listed on the vacant property registry, the city shall post a sign affixed to the building, indicating the name, address, and if known, the telephone number of the building owner. The size of the sign shall be no less than 12" by 12" but shall otherwise be created under the direction of the Director of Public Works or his or her designee. The sign shall remain in place as public notice of the ownership of the building until such time as it is removed from the vacant building registry or it is demolished. If the ownership of the building changes hands, the sign shall be amended to contain the correct ownership information. Every property upon which such sign is posted shall be assessed a fee of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00), to be invoiced with the next vacant building registry invoice to cover the cost of posting the sign.
