(a) Violations. If any sign is erected or put in place without a permit, or with a permit but not in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, and the person for or by whom such sign is erected fails to remove such sign within forty-eight hours after receiving notice from the Building Inspector to do so, then such person shall be considered as committing a separate offense in violation of this chapter for every week or fraction thereof that such sign is permitted to remain in place, and it shall also be lawful for the Building Inspector to remove such sign or cause it to be removed at the expense of the person for or by whom it is erected, and the expense so incurred, together with the cost of any suit for collecting the same, shall be collectible as provided by law.
(b) Severability. If any provision of this chapter or its application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or applications of this chapter that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this chapter are declared to be severable.
