Get Graffiti Removed

CB047531 With the growing problem of gang activity in the area, the associated graffiti problems must be addressed. The city’s stance is that removal of graffiti within the first 24 hours is the best way to prevent future graffiti. Before any graffiti removal begins take a photograph for local law enforcement as evidence. The photo may provide information that will lead to identification of the vandal.

If you spot graffiti, photo it and either reported it by calling 831-6001 or email graffiti@ci.raleigh.nc.us.

Note: The above info regards graffiti in city areas. For graffiti seen on state-maintained roads, such I-440, I-40, and I-540, call 447-2914.
