Invasion of Movie Poster-Sized Signs
(Winter, 2003)
A new type of billboard has infiltrated San Francisco's neighborhoods and thoroughfares. No larger than movie posters and usually encased in silver frames, the new signs are installed on poles in parking lots and on the sides of buildings in neighborhoods and commercial districts. Most, if not all, of these signs do not have general advertising sign permits and are therefore illegal.
The Planning Department is using billboard legislation SFB helped draft to identify and cite those responsible for posting these illegal signs. If the cited signs are not removed, the Planning Department will impose administrative penalties of $2,500 per day for each violation.
To report a potentially illegal sign to the Planning Department, provide address and description of the property the sign is attached to; company ID on sign; and date documented plus picture of sign (historical picture of site without sign is also very helpful).
