The affixing and display of an identifying emblem is required by the
owner on the front of any structure with truss construction.
The emblem shall be a bright and reflective color, or made of reflective
material. The colors or reflective material shall be such that they present

such emblem is reasonably visible in the event of fire. The shape of the emblem

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

to signify both a floor and roof with truss construction.
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.
Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon conviction
thereof in a summary proceeding, be sentenced to a fine of not more than $1,000,
plus costs of prosecution for each and every offense and, in default of payment
of such fines and costs, be imprisoned for not more than 90 days. Each day
