Due to limitations and or the nature of the graffiti, DPW reserves the right to refuse the removal of graffiti on private property.  The way the city will remove the graffiti will depend on the surface and type of material used. Painted surfaces may require repainting and the homeowner may need to supply the city with the paint. Unpainted surfaces like brick or concrete walls may be blasted with high pressure water/sand or water/baking soda.
