§ 751-3. Public Nuisance.

Latest version.

Graffiti is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the community in that it degrades the community and leads to urban blight; it is detrimental to property values, business opportunities and the city's aesthetic standards. When graffiti is permitted to remain on property and is not promptly abated, it invites additional graffiti and criminal activity, further deteriorating the city's quality of life and discrediting the city's reputation for livability. Graffiti, whether located upon public or private premises within the City of Cincinnati, is hereby declared a public nuisance. Every owner, occupant, or person in control of any premises within the City of Cincinnati shall cause the premises to be kept clear and free of such graffiti, and otherwise comply with the requirements of this chapter.
