From the article:

There will be retribution for Musk’s decision to ignore city permitting laws. “The property owner will be assessed fees for the unpermitted installation of the illuminated structure,” Hannan said, adding: “The fees will be for building permits for the installation and removal of the structure, and to cover the cost of the Department of Building Inspection and the Planning Department’s investigation.”

So not so much for that it’s unsafe? Hopefully it’ll be included in that.

I don’t like it that he basically flaunts the law all the time either.
