The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what’s going on.

Not that it isn’t fun to laugh at what a boondoggle Twitter X is, but why do you need a permit to change a sign on a building?
Guessing less about the sign itself and more about the heavy equipment/traffic obstruction involved in getting it down.
Also possibly becathe doesn’t own the building and needs approval of the owner.
Owners don’t issue permits, the government does.
Agreed. But the owner of the building would presumably be able to control modifications of his own building.
