(A) When, in the opinion of the Code Administrator, a violation of the code exists, the Code Administrator may issue a written order to the alleged violator. The order must specify those sections of the code which the individual may be in violation of and state that the individual has 15 days from the date of the order in which to correct the alleged violation or to appeal to the Council.
(B) If, upon inspection, the Code Administrator finds that a sign is abandoned or structurally, materially or electrically defective, or in any way endangers the public, the Code Administrator must issue a written order to the owner of the sign and occupant of the premises stating the nature of the violation and requiring them to repair or remove the sign within 15 days of the date of the order.
(C) In cases of emergency, the Code Administrator may cause the immediate removal of a dangerous or defective sign without notice. Signs removed in this manner must present a hazard to the public safety as defined in the local building or traffic codes.
