a license as provided herein.
All work shall be done in accordance with the applicable codes

set forth in the sign regulations) unless a sign permit therefor has

a sign permit has been issued therefor. The contractor shall only
erect a sign in compliance with a duly issued sign permit. The workmanship
shall conform to generally accepted good practice in the trade.

or nature of work performed by the contractor in the erection, alteration
or maintenance of signs.
