NEW YORK, NY — Mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to make it easier for property owners to deal with graffiti. The Mayor and the City Council are working on new legislation that would place the graffiti removal process with the city.

This new legislation would allow the city to remove graffiti on a property without permission from the owner, unless the owner specifically says otherwise.
