Thank you.

New graffiti now covers part of the graffiti reported here.

lots of new graffiti on this wall last night. please pressure the owner to do something.

Graffiti is still there. I have called Sylvia at CODE ENFORCEMENT and she was very understanding but she says there is nothing more the city can do. I have talked with my neighbor about painting over it ourselves. He says he'll buy paint. Many of us are going to donate labor. It's a shame that we have to maintain this privately-owned building with our own materials and labor, but we care about our neighborhood. At some point, we must take action on our own.

One of the neighbors painted over a portion of the graffiti a month ago. It has been covered back up with tags. We have been advised to not paint over it again, so the city has evidence of the continuing problem when they deal with the owner. I hope something is happening!

For two hundred and eleven days, there has been graffiti whenever I open the front door of my home. I know I don't live in one of the "nice" neighborhoods, but I sure am sick and tired of feeling like I live in the run-down part of Detroit. I have spoken with Casey Farmer, in Councilwoman McElhaney's office about the issue a number of times, now. The latest that I heard was that something would be done by August 15. I am waiting to see. We have good neighbors, here. We don't deserve this kind of neglect.

This graffiti is as bad as ever. Nothing has changed, despite discussions with City Council, the building owner's representative, and Code Enforcement. I appreciate SeeClickFix for sending me a reminder periodically to look out the window and say, "yep, it's still there." This past week, an employee of the building owner talked to me. He says that the absentee owner gave him one gallon of gray paint to go and paint over the graffiti. The area that needs to be covered is more than 10,000 square feet. A gallon of paint isn't going to go a long way--the owner is not taking this issue seriously.

Being painted over right now. It's worth noting that the painters started yesterday afternoon and a new tag appeared last night on the new paint, meaning they had to go back. I hope the building owner plans to keep up with this problem. I will now close this issue, as it is presently being addressed.
