  1. Does anyone know if we can remove graffiti somehow when we see it. I would be willing to do this as I’m tired of seeing it on brick walls, and street signs. How can we get rid of it?

  2. Chris,

    I agree with you, will I get convicted for painting over the graffiti?

    Maybe we should organize a neighborhood wide graffiti clean up day.

  4. Seriously, all you have to do to report Gtaffiti for removal, is open a Citizen’s Request Ticket. It is painless (if you do it on line, anyway), you can do it in the middle of the night from the comfort of your own pad, and without getting arrested for vandalism for apinting over it yourself. The property can be public or private and you do not have to be the property owner.

    …To enter a request for Graffiti removal, call 311 or go on line to http://www.richmondgov.com to enter a Citizen’s Request. Unless the surface is one that can be easily damaged or is risky to get to,the graffiti will likely be removed by DPW on receipt of the entered request. Otherwise, the property owner must first fill out a “Graffiti Removal Release of Liability” form which releases the City of liability for damage to the surface.

    Remember, reporting Graffiti for removal does not include the notification of law enforcement for filing a police report. For that, call non-emergency at 646-5100.

  5. FYI…the two graffiti tickets I enterd over the weekend have already been addressed (24 hr turnaround, not too shabby!). The solution for a painted surface seems to be to paint over it instead of cleaning it off but at least it is a nice primer coat for the property owner and it removes the tag from public view (which is the whole point).
