The annual graffiti removal contract for the city of Duarte for fiscal year 2012-2013 was reduced from $48,000 to $25,000.
Graffiti removal service is now provided on an as needed basis rather than the previous process where the contracted graffiti removal service provided regular patrols to identify and remove graffiti. Instead of seven days a week and after-hour service, graffiti removal is now conducted Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
To streamline graffiti removal service, the public can now report graffiti via e-mail at reportgraffiti@accessduarte.com, by telephone to Field Services at (626) 357-7931, Public Safety at (626) 357-7938, or online at www.accessduarte.com under Public Safety – Graffiti. Include the specific address or location of the graffiti, a description of the graffiti, and the name and phone number of the person making the request.
Duarte Field Services processes requests for graffiti removal only on public property, including traffic signs, bus and park benches, and City buildings. The Public Safety office will continue to address graffiti removal on private property. It remains the responsibility of the private property owner to remove graffiti from their property. To report graffiti within the Los Angeles County jurisdiction, call (800) 675-4357.
