Again, this is not a historic building - it's some of the city's kitschiest architecture - but it needs to be kept graffiti free until someone either recycles or demolishes it.

This is what it looks like now.

Thank you.

"Code Enforcement" means nothing will happen until, possibly, arsonists strike first.

Who owns the building? It should be their responsibility to keep the building from grafiti or get a fine!

I have seen this and thought this is so terrible. God! I wish I had money to fix this place back up again. But in the mean time it would be nice if someone stops the graffiti artist from destroying it.

Still there

Merchants can't be responsible for everything - Oakland has deeply lacked in addressing blight, graffiti, illegal dumping and crime for years! Some of you may have missed the millions in damage done on Broadway and Telegraph - Kelly Moore paints was a complete loss in addition to hundreds of cars, nothing has changed

Actually this is pretty clean at present.
