The appropriate sections of the building code (Chapter 16.04) shall apply to the construction of signs. All signs shall be able to resist the applicable wind loads set forth in Section 1615 of the 1998 California Building Code, as amended from time to time. All signs having built-in illumination shall be constructed wholly of metal, incombustible plastic or other approved fire-resistant material. Guy wires or horizontal struts shall not be used. Signs and sign structures shall be maintained at all times in a state of good repair, with all braces, bolts and structural parts and supporting frames and fastenings free from deterioration, rot, rust and loosening. Without limiting the foregoing, no person shall maintain or permit to be maintained on any premises owned or controlled by him any sign which is in a sagging, leaning, fallen, decayed, deteriorated or other dilapidated or unsafe condition.
