Despite it's inherent legality, lit signage atop a high-rise condominium in downtown Miami is causing many a neighbor to complain.
"Looking out from his balcony on the 37th story of the Palace Condominium, William Pollak enjoys a stellar, panoramic view of the Brickell skyline.

'The permits granted for this are completely improper,' Pollak said."
