Description
Plymouth Township officials would like to inform residents of a recent hostile incident involving a contractor placing signs illegally on telephone poles in the township.
On Wednesday, June 24, 2026, a Plymouth couple, and their grandchildren, witnessed a representative from S&K Roofing using a ladder to illegally affix advertising signs to a telephone pole near Runkle Avenue Extension.
Previously, the S&K signs has been hung in multiple locations at approximately 6 feet, and were promptly removed by township officials upon discovery. This new method of attaching the signs at elevated heights is a brazen attempt to prevent removal, and to circumvent local ordinances, utility regulations, and the Ohio Revised Code.
The resident confronted the S&K representative, at which time he became extremely argumentative and verbally abusive. The exchange escalated quickly, and in the interest of safety, the grandchildren were removed and sent inside the home.
The representative was insistent he had the right to use the poles for advertising, but eventually relented and sped away aggressively. The incident was then reported to the Ashtabula County Sheriff's Department.
S&K Roofing is well known to township officials. Their signs have been posted illegally across the area, not just in Plymouth, but in surrounding communities as well. The Plymouth Township Zoning Inspector had previously made attempts to resolve the issue amicably, but S&K Roofing officials have been unresponsive.
Plymouth Township officials are entrusted with preserving the beauty, laws, and safety of our community. Disregard for our ordinances and abuse of our residents will not be tolerated. The trustees are actively working with the Ashtabula County Prosecutor's Office to stop this unlawful activity and ensure it doesn't happen in the future.
Please use discretion if you witness representatives from S&K Roofing illegally placing signs in the township.
Plymouth residents are encouraged to report all sign violations to the township representatives. The signs will be removed immediately. Reports can be sent privately to our Facebook page, or you can call or text the zoning inspector, Ryan Lencl, at 440-536-1944.
