I live in an area of the city where it’s really uncool to hate on graffiti, but I can’t help being bugged by the prevalence of spray paint on everything around me. Can I anonymously report graffiti in my neighborhood in hopes that it will be cleaned up? How do I do that? Note: the graffiti isn’t offensive in any way, except to my eyes.
You can easily and anonymously request graffiti removal online. To report graffiti in a public place, click here.
The site allows you to withhold your contact information if you so desire; you’ll just have to specify the location where service is needed, nature of the graffiti (offensive, not offensive), and type of building or object that graffiti is on (house, newsrack, etc.)
You can also find ways to report other types of graffiti (in parks, on private property, on
street signs) here.
