Code Enforcement did not have a case opened on this service request. The case was opened today. Case number 1401715. The City does not send out and inspector for graffiti, they send a letter. If after three weeks the graffiti is not removed, call back and report it again.

The system in place for PWA referring cases to Code Enforcement does not appear to work. I have yet to successfully find an open case at Code Enforcement that had been referred.
