Who has to remove graffiti from a NYC building?
The owner. NYC’s Department of Sanitation says property owners are required by law to remove graffiti from their property or arrange for its removal. If someone reports it to 311, the owner is mailed a Notice of Intent to Remove Graffiti under the Graffiti-Free NYC program.

What happens if I get a Graffiti-Free NYC notice?
You have 35 days to remove the graffiti and report back, or to say you want it to stay. After that the city may inspect and remove it from easily reached front surfaces. Rear walls, interiors and hard-to-reach areas stay the owner’s job, which is where we come in.

Do you also remove graffiti?
Yes. Many of the buildings whose chutes we clean also call us to remove graffiti from their exterior walls, doors and gates. It’s the same crew and the same standard.
Are you insured?
Yes. Chute Cleaning Division is insured in partnership with Select Exterminating, and we can send a certificate of insurance for your building or management company on request.
