Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect.
We have reviewed the information you provided our staff and will be investigating this issue further.
Because graffiti removal equipment cannot be used in cold weather, all requests received mid November thru March will be removed in the spring. Obscene or offensive tags will be immediately painted over until removal can be scheduled.
This boiler plate response is not accurate as graffiti IS being removed as weather permits. Please continue to encourage graffiti reports by changing the City’s response to reflect actual DPW strategy. The employee who does the graffiti and tag removal does an excellent job! We greatly appreciate the timely attention and the pictures of the cleaned spots.
We’ve inspected this location and it is on private property not maintained by the City of Cambridge and no additional action will be taken. Tell us how we're doing by completing a short survey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/CambServiceRequests
