What’s the problem? It’s commercial property isn’t it? Does it affect you on your 2 second drive by it?

Going after a small business during a pandemic is tacky and the sign is on their property. Not city property. The sign is not a nuisance.

thanks for your comment HappyMontrose. Stay in your lane. don't make MY neighborhood tacky with a sign on a neighborhood street.

Still commercial property. Learn to know where you live in a no zoning neighborhood and what belongs to people’s property. It’s not affecting your life. Move along.

HappyMontrose I reported it to Houston Sign Administration as well as a violation.

That’s ok, the business is operating under city guidelines. It’s on their property. You are an amazing person. Keep doing what your doing. 👍🏻

will do thanks. :) Keeping my neighborhood quiet and non-tacky from ugly signs.

Too bad it’s a business sign that doesn’t violate any of the sign rules. But good luck! The neighborhood loves the new addition to the neighborhood, better than an old sketchy pawn shop that had homeless people living in the back. The corner looks amazing compared to what it used to look like. 👍🏻

I’m confused. How exactly is this a nuisance? And what rule are they violating?

It does look better and you are obviously the arrogant owner I've heard about. You can have the sign for 7 days without a permit. https://www.eng.hctx.net/permits/Sign/Signs/Sign-Permitting

interesting how people who have new accounts are commenting. hmm

Unfortunately I am not the owner lol, I’m a neighbor that loves taking my dog here.

Sign permits are required for businesses that want to use their name on the banner. This banner doesn’t, or else it would be “attention seeking”. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am a neighbor as well.

This is a pristine sign that violates NO code. If it were on a church or school there would be no problem. I support small, local, minority-owned businesses, including this one.

Also, the code cited is Harris County & this is under City of Houston jurisdiction...just sayin’

Weird how nobody ever reported this. Now THAT is something to report. I see tons of violations in one picture.

Um because political signs are allowed. 😱

You must not see all the graffiti on the wall or over grown brush either. But yes let's point out political signs. You must have it out for this new business specifically. Interesting.

HouKnowRioanother newbie with no history. hmm

HouKnowRio did you know that Houston is in Harris County? geography isn't for everyone i guess.

HappyMontrose why would someone put a sign up in a residential area? with no exposure that is substantial. hmm

Electropoe, what part of commercial property do you not understand? The whole business and the tracts of land that make up the business are commercial property. Your residential fantasy doesn't exist where the sign lays. The sign is getting exposure from Peden street drivers I suppose. Wouldn't that make sense when you are DRIVING BY? hmmm or perhaps....all the people that WALK THEIR DOGS to the facility like myself. I wish you could comprehend what you are complaining about. It's really sad, that this is the one thing you have to dwell on. Must be nice to not be busy.

oh you can report graffiti here. https://www.harriscountyso.org/programs/programs_grafitti_abatement.aspx

ElecteoPoe, this is an open forum for anyone - newbies or not. City of Houston holds jurisdiction in this area...I’m just stating the obvious! In fact, this was reported to HOUSTON 311 not Harris County. Get YOUR facts straight!

HappyMontrose what's a sign lays?

HouKnowRio awe

thanks for the tip on reporting graffiti. While you are reporting on things in your area, can you report on the buildings and street signs that are in close proximity to this sign that are covered with graffiti. There's tons that will keep you busy.

**where the sign exists. My bad, thanks for the correction.
You know, on their commercial property and fencing.

I hope the owner of the business paints a big bright mural that says exactly this across the whole side of the building on Peden St. Bet this “neighbor” wish they wouldn’t have opened their mouth about a little banner. I can’t wait to go mention this idea to them. Some people are just so miserable. Yikes.

Very entertaining reading all the comments here. Now for a little "Adult Supervision".

"A temporary banner 40 s.f. or less displayed for 7 consecutive days in any 30 day period."

that is exempt. Looks like it is less than 40 s.f. but has it been more than 7 Consecutive days in any 30 day period?

One week on, then one week off. Have to take a picture every day for 7 straight days, then report it to the city. If you want to "waste" your time counting every single day that the sign is out there then fine. But going back and forth with patrons of the business, on this website is pointless. I do not have a dog, and thus do not need their services. But if a business is legitimate and does not cause noise to the neighborhood, then I generally do not care. If there are a bunch of drug dealers using the place to launder money, then there are other places to report that. But that is not occurring as far as I can tell. It seems perfectly legitimate.

All what the detractors are doing is giving the place some "free" advertising. All on the Houston 311 app.

If you have a problem with anyone making some money doing some legitimate work.....you need your head examined. The amount and type of stuff reported for the Montrose neighborhood is too much. I live 2 blocks from this business and basically find this issue to be a waste of time. Especially since the business is on Montrose Blvd, a major street where businesses are supposed to be located.

Alexander, awesome. Thank you for the tip, I’ll pass it on to the owner. He’ll comply. It’s definitely under 40 sq ft. Knowing this guy complaining he’ll count every day. But, let him.
The owner bends over backwards for their customers and has built a great business that is the cleanest operation and a great addition to our neighborhood. The owner has been harassed by 3 same neighbors for 3 months straight. To the Electropoe person that called the owner arrogant, be careful what other neighbors you associate with. Might want to know what they have really done to the owner of the business. Why don’t you go introduce yourself to the owner of the business and have a civil conversations first before name calling someone you don’t even know. Maybe you are one the same “3 neighbors” that are constantly harassing. 🤔
The owner is and has always complied with city regulations. He’s been in business for over 4 years. Never once been given any citations like these neighbors have tried to force on him. It’s so pathetic.

I don’t see the sign anymore. Don’t waste city officials time and fix your own problems first. Hate for someone to report you.

MiloSF2Houston welcome to SeeClickFix. I see your new here.

Thank you for the warm welcome. I sure am.

Be careful what you think is a nuisance ... you may get attacked for it by your "neighbors"

@MiloSF2Houston,

I am not one of the 3 neighbors complaining. I live on W Gray and Hazel. I do not have a dog. Do pass by the place going home. I take Peden Street off Montrose and drive down to Hazel when I go home.

The business is on the corner of Peden and Montrose. Legitimate business, doing the community a favor. People have dogs and need to go out of town on business and need someone to take care of the pooch.

@Alexander - that message was for Electropoe midway. Sorry. My response was at the top telling me so I could tell the owner. :)
The business is legitimate no matter how hard these people try to change that. They can’t. Have a good day.
