Anyone that happens to be from Chicago.... do you know what the requirement is for the "property management" sign on your rental building.
I had a city inspector tell me that the paper in the window with my name and number was not sufficient. He said it has to be a certain size and have my name, number and address. If he told me the size....I forgot what he said b/c I was nervous about passing the building violation that he was there checking.
I wanted to order the official sign, but I can't find the measurement requirements anywhere.

@Leslie Voegtlin We have used 12"x18" for our management signs and never had any problems. We are switching to 18"x24" now but that is more personal preference than anything else.

Ante Vujic Great! Thank you for the specific measurements you use. I was thinking of getting it from a vistaprint or something like that online. Is that what you do?

We order all of our signs from Wing Signs at Belmont and Kilbourn. Definitely more than you'll pay for Vista Print but they're customer service and quality is second to none and the guy knows everything there is to know about signage, materials, color schemes, etc.

@Jason Marcordes Thank you so much for the info and the contact. I will check it out. Money is a big deal for me right now so I might get the cheaper sign. :) Having this contact will be better in the future though....once I get renters and then get my next place. Thanks so much!

@Leslie Voegtlin I used to use WGN Flag Co. in South Chicago. My graphics company is handling all my new signs but WGN Flag definately has better pricing.
