For the purposes of determining whether to consent to a subsequent building permit under this section, or at any time after the issuance of a building permit for a sign under this section, the Office of Community Beautification may investigate an area around the permitted site or lot to determine whether there exists a public nuisance due to the presence of graffiti, posters/handbills and any other illegal postings, as well as trash, debris, rubbish, and weeds on public property within the abatement radius. For a subsequent building permit for a sign, if the Office of Community Beautification cannot establish that a public nuisance exists because of the presence of graffiti, posters/handbills and any other illegal postings, as well as trash, debris, rubbish and weeds on public property within a 750-foot abatement radius around the permitted site or lot, then the Office of Community Beautification shall expand the radius around the site or lot in 250-foot increments, up to a maximum abatement radius of 1,500 feet. If the Office of Community Beautification finds the existence of a public nuisance on public property within the expanded radius area beyond the original 750-foot radius, then it shall require the sign company or property owner to abate the public nuisance in the expanded radius area in accordance with Subdivision G.3., Nuisance Abatement, below. 2.
