Free Graffiti Cleanup For Allentown Property Owners

Graffiti is not a victimless crime or a harmless prank. It is a form of vandalism that encourages littering, loitering, crime, violence, and more graffiti.

Graffiti vandals "tag" or put their moniker or nickname "up" in multiple locations for fame and/or social rebellion. Gangs and drug dealers mark territory with graffiti. Some graffiti may be artistic, however, it is done without permission of the property owner and is therefore, a crime. Publicity encourages more graffiti.

The best way to fight graffiti is to remove it quickly. Call the Hotline. The Allentown Graffiti Busters program removes graffiti quickly at no charge to Allentown property owners.
