Is this a violation or a sign that has been violated?

You have to love neon to LED retrofits done by morons that think anyone can install these!!! The douche left a 5" raceway cover off and the raceway was so full of pigeon shit the it was going through the glass housing holes into each letter!!!!! The power supply was completely covered. Needless to say I told the owner I was not going to clean that up.

That sure beats the dead raccoon carcase I once found and the 1-2" layer of muck with worms in a race way about 30' off the ground the other day.

That's F-ing nasty. I wouldn't clean that crap up either. 15 years back, I was rebuilding an old Theater marquee. Full of pigeons and crap. All of us working on that sign were lucky enough to get Mite's on our arms and other places. It took a frigging year almost, and numerous prescribed medications to get rid of them.

Got a call last week, asking us to remove a bee hive in a bldg. sign. I told them to call a pest control company. They actually were shocked, we wouldn't come out and at least check the infestation out. Since it was attached to a sign. Dealing with a few wasps is one thing. A bee hive is a different story.

That photo is almost a duplicate of a raceway we worked on this year. My tech did clean it out, and we charged extra for that. He also filled a cardboard box with crap and showed it to the sign owner so the owmer could understand what was involved. Needless to say, that bill was paid in three days.

We have a theater marquee that had pigeon problems, and one of the maintenance guys bright idea was to string netting behind the sign and attached to the building to keep the pigeons out. Problem was, it quickly developed a hole and the pigeons got in, but could not get out. Several dead pigeons later... a hawk got a leg tangled in it. He got out, then they finally took the net down.

Good times...

I won't touch that kind of mess. Pigeon crap can cause you to have major respiratory problems.
