Per Zoning, the inspector went to the location and issued a notice of violation and gave them until Monday, April 28 to either remove or obtain permits for it to be there for a limited time.

I've seen it, it's a cloth flag on a thin metal pole. You walk outside, you pull it out of the ground with bare hands, job done. Why in the world the city doesn't enforce the law rather than giving violators days, weeks, sometimes as much as six months to continue breaking the law is mystifying.
