   "A co-op is a home for hundreds of people," says attorney Andrew Brucker of the law firm of Schechter & Brucker PC in Manhattan. "They want it to be nice. They don't want big signs all over the building." Which is why the days of renting building space for advertisements may be dwindling. "Just renting out space like that takes away from the building," Brucker says. "It takes away from its status. And buildings want to be high-class, no matter where they are."
   
   To avoid problems later, Brucker strongly recommends that any and all decisions about signage be discussed thoroughly before a commercial lease is signed. "What kind of signs will these people put up? It's in the lease," he says.
   ...
   "In buildings, people are usually replacing signs, not adding new ones," Brucker says. Which means they're not asking for different sizes or placements. It's simply new tenants using existing signs to advertise their wares.
   
   "We really look at signs seriously," Brucker says.
   ...
   If a building is installing a rooftop sign, "You have to make sure that the company leasing that space is responsible for any damages to the building," Brucker says, or the people on the ground below.
   
   When it comes down to the question of who is liable in the event that something goes wrong with a sign, "Typically it's going to be the tenant-but really everyone's going to get sued," says Brucker.
