@dolemite, That is just what I thought the message was supposed to be: an old man at that building does not like peeing thereon.

@withak Or if you happen to be peeing on this building, you should stop because there is an old man here.

I got it, the old dude is standing on the roof of the building peeing onto innocent passers by.

It's a warning: Stop! Peeing old man somewhere on this building. You may be splashed.

I think that "Old Man" is meant to be read first, as if it were the center of a circular logo. Stop! Peeing! should probably have only one exclamation point, but if they had just put a little more design thought into it, the current arrangement of words would be fine, I think.

Could it be a William Shatner song from the 70's?

Maybe the sign is warning us to stop because a peeing old man is on this building?

or kill the exclamation point and use a comma. Stop Peeing Old Man, On This Building! Although you lose the Neil Youngian quality of the current phrasing.

I resent being called an old man! Also, fine. I won't pee, I'll just urinate instead.

At least the elderly vagrant is not dropping a steamer there.

It almost has a poetic quality to it.
