Nancy Huff and Don Ijams attended a meeting on November 6, 2012 at the City of Tucson to talk over Tucson City Code Enforcement procedures, with special emphasis on enforcement of Code requirements for graffiti removal.
The whole process of City graffiti reporting and cleaning was discussed. Some tagging incidents involve private property and are not covered by the City's contract with Graffiti Protective Coatings. These private property cases remain the obligation of the property owner to abate. Where owners do not remove the graffiti in a timely manner, Code Enforcement will make a contact to urge compliance with the City Code, and possibly open an enforcement case for followup. In a few cases, uncooperative owners may be cited into Tucson City Court.
More meetings with Code Enforcement are anticipated, as learning about policies and procedures will take some time. In addition to graffiti, the division deals with a wide variety of violation complaints, most described in the Neighborhood Protection Ordinance (Tucson City Code - Part II - Chapter 16). Justice Watch Tucson views code enforcement as part of the broad realm of justice and regulation affecting life in Tucson.
