It is a common problem:
Flyers on the porch, hang tag ads on the doorknob, real
estate agents leaving any number of notepads and even
pouches of sample rocks left on your driveway.
Thanks to friend of Tract 7260,
Neighborhood Prosecutor and Deputy City Attorney Arturo
Martinez we have a tool to help solve this problem.
After speaking with Arturo about
the problem, he did some research and discovered a section
of the Los Angeles Municipal Code which provides that if you
place a sign in a conspicuous place which reads "No
Advertising" and is at least 12 square inches in size, it is
illegal for advertisers to leave materials on your property.
Click here for a
template of a sign. A proposal will be made to the
board to print "No Advertising" stickers which would fit on
the current 7260 neighborhood watch signs. The
stickers would then be available to members.
If you are interested in such a
sticker, let the board know by
clicking here.
The full code is as follows:
SEC.
28.02. HAND-BILLS – PERMISSION PREMISES.
No person
shall distribute, deposit, throw, place or attach any
hand-bill to, in or upon any porch, yard, steps or mail-box
located upon any premises not in the possession of or under
the control of the person distributing the said hand-bill,
which premises has posted thereon in a conspicuous place, a
sign of at least twelve inches in area bearing the
words, “No Advertising,” unless the person distributing the
hand-bills has first received the written permission of the
person occupying or having possession of such premises
authorizing him so to do.
SEC.
28.03. HAND-BILLS, SIGNS – BUILDINGS PERMISSION.
No person
shall paint, mark or write on or post or otherwise affix or
attach any hand-bill or sign to or upon any building, wall
or part thereof, or upon any private property without the
consent of the owner, agent or occupant thereof.
