Inoperative gasoline service stations, which do not come within the definition of "abandoned" as defined herein, shall be maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Business Maintenance Code. The parking of motor vehicles upon the premises shall be prohibited and the owner shall place a sign of at least ten square feet in area in the window of such service station notifying the public of this fact. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, if the Building Commissioner finds that such notice is not complied with by the public, he may order the owner of the premises on which any station is inoperative for more than three months to install fencing or barricades approved by the Commissioner, which will be sufficient to block motor vehicle access to such property.
