    Pete,

    I called the city’s generic helpline once and they connected me with the proper people when someone graffitied the house next door to mine. In a rare case of excellent city service, they painted over it two days later.

    Thanks, that’s helpful. A house on my block just got tagged.

    Does anyone actually know how to remove graffiti. Are there any chemicals you can use? My house has some leftover graffiti, but it is not painted and I don’t want to paint it. I want to leave the brick plain.

    They sell something at Home Depot billed as grafitti remover. I don’t know if it works or not.
