All signs, including signs installed prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this chapter, shall be constantly maintained in a state of security, safety and good repair. If the building inspector or other town enforcement official finds that any sign is unsafe or insecure, or a menace to the public safety, or has been constructed, erected, relocated or altered after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter in violation of the provisions of this chapter, then the official shall give written or hand-delivered notice to the owner or the tenant of the property to remove or alter such sign to bring about compliance with this chapter. If the owner or tenant fails to comply with the provisions of this chapter within one day after such notice is received, the official may cause such sign to be removed and the cost thereof be paid by the owner or tenant. The official may cause any sign which is an immediate peril to persons or property to be removed summarily and without notice, and in such case, the official will make reasonable efforts to notify the sign owner of the removal and offer the opportunity for the owner to reclaim the sign upon payment of the reasonably estimated cost of removal. (Ord. 611 § 1 (part), 2014)
