For more information, please contact 3-1-1 with the Service Request Number 2131859.
Graffiti abatement requests may be submitted to the Office of Community Beautification at the following website: http://Anti-Graffiti.LACity.
According to the attached photos in the neighbor's original submission, the tags have been painted out dozens of times before.
Highly annoyed, the neighbor contacted me. We contacted Adam Bass in City Councilmember Mitch O'Farrell's office (CD13), who expects have it painted out (or have answers) by the end of the day today.
Yet one more reason why so many people hate these half-assed murals.
You can also use the City's smartphone app, but it hasn't been working to well for those areas without addresses, that's why we recommend the City's website where you can put in more detail. Don't even bother calling 311 if there is no address, it won't get logged in correctly.
*5:30 PM: The neighbor reports the graffiti was painted out by noon today. Thanks Adam in CD13!
