The City is committed to creating a safe, clean, and beautiful environment for residents and encourages them to take an active role in reporting graffiti observed in their neighborhoods. </p><p>“We all play a part in keeping Phoenix clean and beautiful, and this Graffiti-Free Phoenix Awareness Month, I encourage residents to remain vigilant and committed to helping us remove graffiti around the city," said Mayor Kate Gallego. “Whether you are interested in resources to remove graffiti yourself or prefer one of our dedicated, professional teams assist you, the City of Phoenix Neighborhood Services Department is here to help." </p><p><strong>Graffiti Busters </strong></p><p>Did you know that in most cases, the City will remove graffiti for free? In 2023, the Neighborhood Services Department's Graffiti Busters used over 10,000 gallons of paint and cleaned up more than 51,000 graffiti sites in Phoenix. Each day, they can efficiently cover or eliminate as many as 200 graffiti sites, without charging any fees to residents or businesses. </p><p>“The work that our Graffiti Busters do is incredibly important for our city. They work 7 days a week, responding to and tracking down reports of graffiti," said Neighborhood Services Department Director, Spencer Self. “By removing it quickly and efficiently, the Graffiti Busters are helping to maintain a sense of pride and safety in our community." </p><p><strong>See graffiti?

City of Phoenix Launches Vacant Property Registryhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newsroom/neighborhood-services/2966Neighborhood Services1/2/2024 7:00:00 PMhttps://www.phoenix.gov/newssite/Lists/NewsArticle/Attachments/2966/Newsroom Image.pngCity of Phoenix Launches Vacant Property Registry<div class="ExternalClassBFEE1F5000D14EE4A7DDCEDFDD0D873D"><html> <p></p> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The City of Phoenix’s Vacant Property Registry (VPR) is now open to the public. In a new ordinance passed by the Phoenix City Council last month, properties vacant for more than 30 days that meet the following criteria are now required to register with the Neighborhood Services Department:</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Non-residential properties</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Unimproved land that is 10,000 or more square feet</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">•<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>Residential properties with 50 or more units</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The VPR takes an important step toward addressing the community’s need for increased communication with vacant property owners.  Before establishing the VPR, the City faced challenges with locating property owners, especially those who reside out-of-state. The new ordinance addresses these challenges by requiring owners to register annually, provide contact information and report occupancy changes within 10 days. In addition, out-of-state owners are required to designate a local point of contact who can address issues promptly.</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">“This is a huge win for Phoenix neighborhoods,” said Neighborhood Services Department Director, Spencer Self. “The Vacant Property Registry will enable the City to respond more efficiently to issues like blight and crime and put us in direct contact with property owners to provide essential education and resources.”</span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;"> <br> </span> </div> <div> <span style="font-size:13.3333px;">The Neighborhood Services Department aims to educate property owners about property maintenance requirements and available City resources by offering access to waivers and educational materials in the VPR portal.
