Whenever any work is being done contrary to the provisions of this Graphics Code, the director shall order the work stopped by posting at the work site a notice to "stop work" or other notice in writing served on any person engaged in the doing of such work or causing it to be done. Such person shall forthwith stop work until authorized by the director to proceed. B. The director is empowered to cause an illegal graphic located within the public right-of-way to be removed, without notice, if the director determines that the graphic constitutes a threat to public health, safety or welfare. C. Order to Remove. The director is empowered to order the removal of any graphic that is not maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Graphics Code. D. Unsafe Graphic. Should any graphic be or become unsafe, the person responsible for it shall, upon receipt of notice, proceed at once to remove or put it in a safe condition. E. Unlawful or Prohibited Graphic. 1. If any graphic is installed, erected, constructed or maintained in violation of any provision of this Graphics Code, the director shall notify the owner or user thereof to comply. 2. If the owner or user fails to comply with such notice, or, after a reasonable search, cannot be found, the director shall cause such graphic or such portion thereof as is constructed or maintained in violation of this chapter to be taken down. However, nothing herein contained shall prevent the director from adopting such precautionary measures as may seem to the director to be necessary or advisable in case of imminent danger to place the graphic in safe condition, the expense of which shall be paid by the owner of the premises or recovered against the owner in the manner described in C.C. 3381.05(C).
