Reporting graffiti for cleanup is now as easy as a snap of a photograph and push of a button!

This service is currently available in Albany, NY, but an expansion is planned in the near future.

Since the days of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire, graffiti has adorned the walls of our urban neighborhoods. In modern times, spray paint and marker pens have become the most commonly used graffiti materials. Graffiti is a quality-of-life issue that can result in costly cleanup and lowered property values. It generates the perception of blight. The appearance of graffiti is often perceived by residents and passers-by as a sign that a downward spiral in a neighborhood has begun, even though this may not be true.

The Graffiti Buster App was created as another tool to combat blighting graffiti in our neighborhoods. With the app, the reporting of graffiti is now streamlined, providing all needed information directly to municipal authorities. Reporting graffiti for cleanup is now as easy as a snap of a photograph and push of a button!

We've rolled out the Graffiti Buster App in the City of Albany, NY in March 2013. If you're interested in brining the app to your city, please contact us at: graffiti@troyweb.com.
