e36bmer Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I'd guess it can't be rebuilt. 4605(e)(5) of the sign code: When any sign or a substantial part thereof is blown down or otherwise destroyed, or taken down or removed for any purpose other than maintenance operations or for changing the advertising display pursuant to Section 4605(e)(3), it shall not be re-erected, reconstructed, repaired or rebuilt, except in full conformance with this chapter. For purposes of this subsection, a sign or substantial part thereof is considered to have been destroyed if the cost of re-erecting, reconstructing, repairing or rebuilding the sign is more than 60 percent of the cost of erecting a new sign of the same size, type and equivalent construction at the same location.

I know this is true, but recently a billboard completely fell west of i45 and Fugate during the hurricane, and I saw them constructing it back up last week :( I was happy to see it gone but annoyed to see them rebuild it Here's it fully on the floor on google maps Edited August 19 by Amlaham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t driven by to see if it was rebuilt. I sure hope not…hate that billboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, they rebuilt that one as well :( I spoke with someone from Scenic Houston and they said they were getting a lot of calls/ complaints about billboards going back up after the storm. The sign code posted above is correct, which prohibits billboards to erect back up if it costs more than 60% of the cost of erecting a new billboard (basically meaning they cannot rebuild them completely). Apparently, according to who I spoke with, she said these billboard companies rebuilt them immediately without any permits just with word of mouth that they just needed to be fixed. Scenic Houston is apparently building a case with the city about multiple billboards from going back up. Hopefully it get resolved! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
