Buildings inspectors say the marquee on East 11th. Street had become partially dislodged and was leaning.
Firefighters secured the area. Authorities ordered the building's owner to build a sidewalk shed to protect pedestrians.
Inspectors also cited the owner for failure to maintain the building, which is closed for renovations.
