What does the police department do about graffiti?
Notify MVPD (650/903-6395), so we can take photos. Often graffiti arrestees are responsible for many cases. It’s crucial that we have the photos for prosecution. In some cases, property owners can receive restitution. City code requires that graffiti be removed within 10 days. The city is responsible for removing it from public property. However, on private property, the property owner is responsible for removing graffiti.
