DETROIT — William Shaw has a message for other business owners advertising their services on illegally posted signs in Detroit: “Don't put them up. They will come after you and your company, and they will make you pay for it.”

Many Detroit street corners and city neighborhoods are plastered with signs offering things like lawn services, event rentals, cash for homes — and even inexpensive health care.. Over the past decade, about 25,000 vacant or abandoned structures have been demolished. The city says it also has cleared about 90,000 tons of trash and illegally dumped debris from alleys over the past four years.

Shaw said Friday he has paid thousands of dollars in fines, but noted that “business is booming" at his shop in Melvindale, southwest of Detroit. “Quality of life is an issue for all of our residents,” Crawley added, “and having nuisance signs plastered on poles where they're not supposed to be ... is something that we want to deliver a message to the business owners. You must stop.
