Graffiti

Structures and exterior property shall be kept free from graffiti. The existence of graffiti on building, or on structures, including, but not limited to fences or walls located upon any property is declared a nuisance. Where graffiti is found, a notice shall be issued describing the nuisance and shall establish a reasonable time limit for the abatement thereof by such owner, which time shall be not less than five (5) days nor more than fourteen (14) days after service of such notice. The notice shall also specify clearly that graffiti established on a painted surface shall be painted over with a color consistent with the predominant tone of the building or structure, and that graffiti established on any unpainted masonry or wood surface shall be removed by cleaning so that such unpainted surface is returned.
