City Of Baltimore "Pays Cash" For "We Buy Houses" Signs

According to the website of the non-profit legal services organization Community Law Center in Baltimore, Maryland:

• The Community Law Center (CLC), Citizens Housing & Planning Association (CPHA) and St. Ambrose Housing Center (St. Ambrose) have joined forces to combat the foreclosure “rescue” scam artists responsible for illegally posted “We Buy Houses” signs throughout Baltimore City. [...] The groups’ initiative is bolstered by [...] legislation passed by Baltimore’s City Council allowing residents to remove signs from utility poles or stop signs. The [...] law [...] increases fines to $200 per sign and allows for neighborhood associations with 501 (c) (3) status to qualify for a cash credit when presenting the removed sign to a designated agency for collection.
