In the good old days, up to 2010, each ward used to have an enviro crime officer allocated to them. Now only a skeleton team has been left in place. Therefore it does not come as surprise that estate agencies take advantage of this, as indeed do those residents who let their front garden hedges and trees grow so big that they block most of pavements, or fly-tipping left on verges of roads for days on ends. One can try and report these boards to the planning department and just hope for action to be taken against them!
