Neighborhood
Protection Corps - Visual Blight (Graffiti) Violations
The following information provides the established
process for what happens after a violation is reported to the
City’s 3-1-1 service helpline.
1. Within seven days of a complaint to 3-1-1,
a Community Service Inspector makes a site visit to determine
if a violation exists.
If there is a violation, the inspector takes
photos, leaves a warning notice on the property and gives the
owner 10 days to comply.
A warning notice is also mailed to the property
owner.
2. After the 10th day, the inspector revisits
the property to check for compliance
If the owner complied, the file is closed.
If the owner did not comply, NPC proceeds
to remove the graffiti which will result in a possible municipal court fine of up to $500 and a lien on the property for the cost of the abatement.
