(A) Identification and marking. Each sign hereafter erected or remodeled shall bear, in a permanent position thereon, a clearly legible identification plate stating the name and address of the owner of the sign, and the person, firm, or corporation responsible for its construction or erection, and the date of erection. Electrical signs shall be marked with input amperages at the full load input.
(B) Sign identification tag. Each sign shall have a sticker 2 inches by 4 inches placed on the sign that identifies the permit number that was originally issued by the administrator. This sticker shall be renewed on a 5-year basis as provided for in this code.
(C) Obstruction to exits. No sign shall be erected, constructed, or maintained so as to obstruct any fire escape, required exit, window, or door opening used as a means of egress.
(D) Obstruction to ventilation. No sign shall be attached in any form, shape, or manner which will interfere with any opening required for ventilation, except that signs may be erected in front of and may cover transom windows when not in violation of the provision of the building or fire prevention code.
(E) Clearance from high voltage power lines. Signs shall be located not less than 8 feet horizontally or 13 feet vertically from overhead electrical conductors which are energized in excess of 750 volts.
