Address may not be correct. The graffiti are on the wall adjacent to the Salvation Army parking lot on the southwest corner of Franklin & 7th. It's been there for a very long time. The owner of the building should be contacted. This might not be merely a Public Works issue!

City of Oakland Public Works Department referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT, service request # 544236.Please contact that department to follow-up, see “Other Helpful Links” at:

The address is correct. There may be graffiti on the wall of the parking lot at Franklin and 7th, but this is on the wall of the parking lot at Broadway and 8th - a completely different location.
