It shall be the duty of the City Manager to cause to be inspected at regular intervals every sign which extends over any sidewalk, street, alley or other public way in the city. If any sign is found to be insecurely fastened or otherwise dangerous, has not been properly maintained, or in any way conflicts with the provisions of this subchapter, the City Manager shall report this fact to the owner of the sign or to the owner or occupant of the premises on which it is fastened. If the sign is not made to comply within five days after this notice, it may be removed or altered so as to comply, at the expense of the holder of the permit, by the City Manager; however, the City Manager may cause any sign to be removed summarily and without notice whenever public safety requires this to be done immediately.
