Contractors wishing to check on the status of a sign permit should contact the Zoning office by calling (612) 673-3000.<br /><br />Sign Permits are only issued to Sign Contractors licensed by the City of Minneapolis. Contractors wishing to be licensed to do business in the City of Minneapolis should contact the Licenses & Consumer Services Division at (612) 673-2080.<br /><br />View the Sign Contractor List (PDF)."<br /><br />Here is a link to Mpls sign Contractors and I don't see your name on this list. http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/mdr/docs/signcontractors.pdf<br /><br />I realize how hard it is for a small business to advertise it's services, however this law includes private property even if you have the owners permission. The purpose of the law is so our neighborhoods are not littered with advertisements such as yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-88205368022469957872011-09-13T12:10:36.145-05:002011-09-13T12:10:36.145-05:00Thanks Mr Rodriguez, hopefully the block owner wil...Thanks Mr Rodriguez, hopefully the block owner will shut his damn mouth now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-13463661121406844372011-09-12T16:46:30.891-05:002011-09-12T16:46:30.891-05:00I just want to clarify the situation of the signs ...I just want to clarify the situation of the signs from Proton Investments Incorporated that were found in private property without authorization. This, as was explained to the block owner over the phone, was an irresponsible behavior on the part of one of our employees at the time. The employee who placed the ads is no longer an employee of our firm.<br /><br />We only put our signs either on property that we own or on property where we have obtained the written permission of the Owner. Some property owners have allowed us to place our ads in their properties because they believe that what we do is to improve the city rather than to litter it as some of the comments I have read above.<br /><br />I believe that all of you will agree that a company that purchases a property in the City of Minneapolis and then repairs it to code and rents it to a low income family is doing something meritorious. Some of the properties that we purchase are in very bad condition, or vacant and could be condemned if somebody does not come, take control of the property and put it to the benefit of the community.<br /><br />If you see any ad of ours which you believe has been incorrectly placed anywhere please call me directly. I will be glad to take action right away to resolve any problem that you may encounter with our ads or with anything related to our company.<br /><br />We pride ourselves of being responsible investors and landlords. We provide affordable housing to low income people.<br /><br />Your cooperation and understanding is appreciated.<br /><br />Roberto M.

I've been trying to do the same in my neighborhood (Lind-Bohanon). 49th and Lyndale seems to be a popular spot for sign spam, but it doesn't stay up long anymore.Mojo Marshallhttp://www.mojomarshall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-20093046900930854812011-09-04T01:32:45.968-05:002011-09-04T01:32:45.968-05:00The best part was when I did this to Proton's ...The best part was when I did this to Proton's Facebook page, I was the only one who had "liked" their profile.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.com
