    §   26-261   Display  of  name  and  registration  number  of  outdoor
  advertising company;  location  of  signs.  a.  An  outdoor  advertising
  company shall provide the department with a listing with the location of
  signs,  sign  structures  and  sign  locations under the control of such
  outdoor advertising company in accordance with the following provisions:
    (1) The listing shall include all  signs,  sign  structures  and  sign
  locations located (i) within a distance of nine hundred linear feet from
  and within view of an arterial highway; or (ii) within a distance of two
  hundred  linear  feet from and within view of a public park with an area
  of one half acre or more.
    (2) In addition to the  signs,  sign  structures  and  sign  locations
  required  to  be reported pursuant to paragraph one of this subdivision,
  the commissioner may, by rule, expand  the  scope  of  such  listing  to
  include   the  reporting  of  other  signs,  sign  structures  and  sign
  locations, as specified in such rule.
    (3) The listing shall be in such form, containing such information and
  filed at such periodic intervals or upon such other conditions,  as  the
  department shall prescribe by rule.
    (4) Such listing shall also indicate the permit identification numbers
  for  the  erection, alteration or installation of such signs pursuant to
  section 27-147, 27-148 and article sixteen of sub-chapter one  of  title
  twenty-seven of this code and for the maintenance of such signs pursuant
  to  section  26-253,  unless  a  permit is not required pursuant to such
  provisions, as well as the name and license  number  of  the  master  or
  special sign hanger who hung or erected each such sign.
    (5)  Such  listing  shall  be accompanied by (a) a certification by an
  architect or engineer, co-signed by a responsible officer of the outdoor
  advertising company that all signs  reported  on  such  listing  are  in
  compliance  with the zoning resolution (b) copies of proof that the sign
  complies with the zoning resolution and a certification  by  the  sign's
  owner  that  to  the  best  of  the certifier's knowledge and belief the
  information so provided for such sign is  accurate,  or  (c)  a  written
  opinion  by  the  Department, stating that the sign to which the opinion
  refers  complies  with  the  zoning  resolution.   Notwithstanding   any
  inconsistent  provision  of  this article, where, in accordance with the
  department's rules, the department renders an opinion, determination  or
  decision  relating  to whether a sign is non-conforming or whether it is
  located in proximity to an arterial highway as  defined  by  the  zoning
  resolution,  such decision, determination or opinion shall be appealable
  to the board of standards and appeals in accordance with applicable law.
  If a timely appeal to such board is taken the department shall not issue
  a notice of violation with respect to such sign pending a  determination
  of such appeal by such board.
    (6)  The  commissioner  shall make all listings filed pursuant to this
  subdivision accessible to the public.
    b. On and after a date to be  prescribed  by  rule,  the  commissioner
  shall require that each outdoor advertising company display, in a manner
  to  be  provided  by  rule,  on  each  sign  under its control or on the
  building or premises where each sign under its  control  is  located  or
  both,  (i)  the  name  and registration number of such company and, (ii)
  unless a permit is not required, the permit  identification  number  for
  the installation, alteration or erection of the sign pursuant to section
  27-147,   27-148  and  article  sixteen  of  sub-chapter  one  of  title
  twenty-seven of this code and, if applicable, for the maintenance of the
  sign pursuant to section 26-253.
