So after a winter of looking at the graffiti... I called 311 and left a report on Tuesday, April 13, 2010. The reference number they gave me is 17534. (Corrected number - originaly I had 27534).
May 11, 2010 update - graffiti is still there - called 311; had the number wrong by one digit but the representative was able to get the correct number. The representative reported to me that the service number had been closed as "completed" on April 28, 2010. Hmmmmm... as I look out the window at the same graffiti. So start from the top...... new service number 162107 and it starts all over, basically as if the graffiti is new.
Whether closing the service number without actually completing the job was intentional or not, it shows me that supervision is not in place to keep this from happening. The crew looks like they are doing a good job by the completion rate, yet the problem "keeps happening" in part because graffiti that was inaccurately reported as removed is then counted as a new service request.
Is there any accountability?
May 19, 2010 update -
Noticed yesterday that the lamp post graffiti has been removed - almost. Below are photos taken May 20, 2010, that clearly show graffiti which can be identified in last September's photos is still on the lamp post. Is anyone paying attention to the work they are doing? This graffiti will now get a third service call! Oh yeah, we are winning........
