It's just the neighbors, doing what they do every day.
Friendly.  Unobtrusive.  Enjoying the neighborhood.
Enjoying the community.
Maybe gossiping a bit...
But when something is amiss...
and needs immediate attention

Is graffiti a problem in your neighborhood?
Graffiti Abatement Program

Hello Graffiti-Fighters!

We need your help! The new PortlandOnline Graffiti Report system is up and running, and ready for you to use. Please help us test the effectiveness of this system by using it to report all types of graffiti in Portland.

PortlandOnline Graffiti Report

Please be as specific as possible when using this system. As always, exact addresses for buildings/businesses, and intersections for street signs, will be most helpful when we refer the reports for removal.

Thanks for your cooperation. Our goal is to improve livability in our neighborhoods by cleaning graffiti wherever it occurs. The more eyes and ears in the community that are helping us gather accurate information, the easier it will be to track and remove graffiti in all neighborhoods.  Ultimately, we want to tie in with law enforcement and prosecution, to apprehend the vandals and hold them accountable for the damage they cause.
