closed: Can't Fix #178550

Graffiti:

Other: Greetings. On a daily basis I commute as a pedestrian through my neighborhood. Part of my route involves the view of an entire length of a building filled with phrases such as, LETS WRECK SHIT, Hot For Crime, and LOSER. I wrote a letter over a year ago politely requesting the property owner remedy this. Additionally, I suggested they consider planting a hedgerow of sorts to restrict people's access to the wall. I have not received a reply, and no action has been taken. Can the city please address this? Also, There is graffiti all over the wall directly across from this but that is more offensive on a subjective level. Ultimately, both properties are owned by the same entity, and it would be really great if they maintained their property in a way that made the streets of Bloomington feel safe and civil. Thank you.

HAND can only address graffiti on Registered Residential rentals. Not on commercial buildings. Can the Graffiti team work on this one?
