The affixing and display of an emblem identifying property as truss construction is required by the owner of any multifamily apartment, townhouses, commercial or industrial buildings on the front of said structures.
The emblem shall be a bright and reflective color or made of reflective material. The color(s) or reflective material shall be such that it presents some visible contrast to the building face to which it is attached, so that such emblem is reasonably visible in the event of fire. The shape of the emblem shall be an isosceles triangle and the size shall be 12 inches horizontally by six inches vertically. The following letters, of a size and color to make them conspicuous, shall be printed on the emblem: "F" to signify a floor with truss construction; "R" to signify a roof with truss construction; or a "F/R" to signify both a floor and roof with truss construction.
Owners of properties presently in existence at the time of this chapter shall have 90 days within which to affix said emblems. Owners of properties presently being constructed shall have emblems affixed immediately. The emblem shall be permanently affixed to the left of the main entrance door at a height between four to six feet above the ground and shall be installed and maintained by the owner of the building. Individual structures and dwelling units with truss construction which are part of a cluster development shall not be required to have an identifying emblem if there is one affixed at each entranceway to the development.
