A signage snag for Small Village Deli on Avenue B

Top 2 photos by Stacie Joy

Work continues inside the Small Village Deli on the NW corner of Avenue B and Fifth Street. 

Meanwhile, outside, there's apparently a small problem with the exterior signage here. A DOB summons posted to the door on Monday states: "Observed illuminated sign approx 80 sq feet above premises, no permit on file, creating a safety hazard."
All illuminated exterior signs require permits, with yearly renewals, per the DOB. 

Not sure if there's any connection, but we did hear from a reader complaining that the sign seemed too bright...
Perhaps a dimmer switch is in order.

    Good. This place looks like it was trying to light the surface of the moon. No need for that.
