Sometimes if they actually get a few warnings in a row, they lay off chaining the sign in broad daylight, and just SNEAK it after 5pm and on weekends.
They sure know that the police will not do anything:
The manager of BAREBURGER should be on this, and asking the city to make sure his customers aren't being swindled. Perhaps there needs to be a law making a store owner responsible for not only the sidewalk being clean, but NO OBSTRUCTIONS on the sidewalk including signs chained to lampposts.
NOBODY owns the city sidewalk or is entitled to chain up signs like this.
The 19th Precinct and the BUNCO squad should get in on this if it continues. It's a public nuisance, it's a crime, and it's disturbing the peace.
