Why is that??? LED signs has been removed by city of LA
Recently city of LA inspectors enforce picking up the “Non permitted signs especially LED scrolling outdoor signs.
“Notice of compliance” letter shows, Any sign including window signs, parking signs, banners need sign permit.
Surrounding area business owners put any kind of window signs, You name it, especially flashing neon, LED including scroll LED signs. Of course no one has city permit for window signs, I believe.
But city more care about outdoor LED scrolling signs. A motel owner got a ticket and had to take their sign down.
I think it’s not just fair deal. If they care more on outdoor signs that means window applications are safe despite of city ordinance says “need permit”.
I was heard that there only were 3~4 city sign inspectors in city of LA so that they only care for permitted signs that they have to inspect according to applications and they were just busy enough for each of the day.
But in these days, Economy is super slow, no new constructions out there, much less permit issuance, city revenue went down a lot but they have to pay to the city workers. That means they have to give more citations to civilians to increase their revenue. It is the same thing as police cite car drivers suck up money to their revenue.
Anyway, I have to be more careful when I sell next LED outdoor signs.
See this video how beautiful that sign was! It’s gone~~~~~~~. Hope they don’t lose business a lot.
