The storefront windows of any vacant CBD building must be covered with seamless paper (where such paper is available on the retail market) of a neutral color to completely obscure public view of the interior of the building. As an alternative, the owner of any vacant CBD building may cover the storefront window with decorative art. All window coverings must be kept in good repair and shall not be torn, damaged or otherwise left in a state of disrepair.
