Not that it isn't fun to laugh at what a boondoggle ~~Twitter~~ X is, but why do you need a permit to change a sign on a building?

[-] mister_flibble@lemm.ee 74 points 11 months ago

Guessing less about the sign itself and more about the heavy equipment/traffic obstruction involved in getting it down.

Also possibly becathe doesn't own the building and needs approval of the owner.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Owners don't issue permits, the government does.

But owners would probably call the police to stop the illegal work from being done to their building. They don't want the liability. This would be reasonable to be part of an approval process with the building owners as you'd likely need their signature with the city, not just twitters.

Agreed. But the owner of the building would presumably be able to control modifications of his own building.
