Graffiti Removal Program

The Graffiti Removal Program works to maintain community livability by preventing and removing graffiti in our community. Reporting graffiti vandalism is an easy and important way for you to keep your neighborhood clean and safe. YEI's Graffiti Removal Program offers information on graffiti clean up, free community presentations, graffiti removal kits and removal and abatement services.

The Graffiti Removal Program works closely with Portland Police to track graffiti incidents and if needed, help building owners clean up their property. Youth crews maintain a record of all graffiti removed in a database that is accessed by police when prosecuting vandals.

To report graffiti in your neighborhood, please call Marcia Dennis at the City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement at the following number: 503.823.5860. Please include the following information:

· Address (If there is no address, be as specific as you can.)

· Building/ Business Name

· Location of graffiti on building: i.e. north or west facing, 1st floor or above.

To remove graffiti on private property, we need the permission of the property owner. Click here to download a Graffiti Removal Agreement.
