Pedro Laumbach, Sr. Maintenance Tech
Graffiti / Neighborhood Services
Pedro.Laumbach@coloradosprings.gov
In the last two years the Neighborhood Service Graffiti Department has removed over 27,000 graffiti tags throughout the city. Their goal is to help properties quickly get back to code compliance, free of charge. With a limited budget for graffiti removal, they rely on donated paint for abatements. Removal services include three different options: chemical cleaning, sand blasting and painting. With every tag that’s removed, a case is created to document each tag in full transparency. All tags are tracked in an effort to help police identify, capture, and hold the vandals accountable.
Last year four warrants and arrests were made related to graffiti. A small percentage of the tags removed are gang related and they are addressed as quickly as possible. In 2020 gang tags increased dramatically but have since died down. Come next week to learn more about the Neighborhood Service Graffiti Department in Colorado Springs.
