Description
Nearly billboard length "RESTA" graffiti vandalization atop Prospect Hill Apartments building, 2425 MacArthur Blvd. Separate smaller graffiti lower down on same wall. Reported April 2 (after waiting a more than reasonable amount of time for the property owner to responsibly address the issue without getting the City involved); service request #722620 was assigned. Later contacted Code Enforcement for follow up and was advised they don't use the service request numbers (of COURSE not . . . that would make too much sense). After I provided the street address they did not respond to my requests for status. Unknown if City has cited property owner or otherwise done anything. This very large, prominently-sited graffiti has blighted the Dimond neighborhood for nearly half a year now.
