Landscape and Building Maintenance

Citywide Graffiti Abatement Program

Mr. Charles Hawkins, Sr. Craftsworker, under the general supervision of Mr. Tony Schifano, leads the city’s two graffiti abatement teams. Mr. Hawkins works Monday through Thursday and he can be reached by leaving a message at (310) 847-3500 during normal administrative office business hours.

Graffiti is removed in public right-of-ways, both public and private property, from wooden fences, cinder block walls, chain link fences with privacy material, sidewalks, unpainted curbs, utility boxes and poles, building structures, some public bridges, overpasses and some areas within the flood control. Graffiti in alleys is removed as time permits. The General Buildings Maintenance section within the Landscape/Buildings Maintenance Division is responsible for graffiti removal in parks. Public Works Maintenance removes graffiti on street surfaces and signs; Cal-Trans maintains freeways; Los Angeles County Flood Control maintains flood control canals.

Residents or business owners wishing to remove graffiti from their property can be issued a voucher that is redeemable at the local Sherwin Williams paint store located at 17500 S. Main Street, in Carson. If you would like to take advantage of the city’s voucher program, simply indicate that when filing your service request. After a city representative makes an inspection, a voucher will be issued for the necessary materials and supplies.

NOTE: The city uses limited standard colors for graffiti removal; if a request is received for graffiti removal involving a non-standard color, a voucher will automatically be issued to the homeowner or business.

To report graffiti during normal administrative office hours, Monday through Thursday, 6:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., call directly to (310) 847-3500. Outside of business hours, you can reach the 24-hour hotline – (310) 830-4660 and leave a message, or you can go to the city’s webpage at www.carson.ca.us and file a service request.
