The building inspector shall inspect at such times as he deems necessary all signs or other advertising structures regulated by this title for the purpose of ascertaining whether the same is secure or insecure, and whether it is in need of removal or repair. If, after inspection, the building inspector finds that any sign or other advertising structure regulated by this title is unsafe or insecure, or is a menace to the public, or has been constructed or erected or is being maintained in violation of the provisions of this title, he shall give written notice to the permittee or owner thereof and to the city council. If the permittee or owner fails to commence actions to remove or alter the structure so as to comply with the provisions of this title within ten (10) days after such notice, the city council may order such sign or other advertising structure be removed or altered to comply, by the city and the building inspector, at the expense of the permittee or owner of the property on which it is located. The city shall refuse to issue further permits to any permittee or owner who refuses to pay the cost so assessed. The building inspector may cause any sign or other advertising structure which is in immediate peril to persons or property to be removed summarily and without notice. (Ord. 1147, 2015)
