Graffiti Removal Service Agreement

As owner/lessee of the above address, I agree to participate in the graffiti removal project with the following considerations:

  1. Owner/lessee grants permission for the City to enter the property listed above to remove any graffiti. The City may contract with an independent contractor, consisting of crew leaders and staff, to perform the actual graffiti abatement. Owner/lessee understands that the contractor will not enter the property if it is determined that conditions on the property are not safe for performing the graffiti removal.
  2. The City will provide any labor and materials needed to remove the graffiti free of charge. The performance of work is not dependent upon any reimbursement.
  3. Neither the Contractor nor the City of Portland has, or will have, any responsibility or obligation, legal or otherwise, in connection with the work performed, or with the materials or equipment supplied, except as expressly stated herein.
  4. The City does not match paint colors. The paint used to cover graffiti may be noticeably different than the original.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the application for graffiti abatement and have answered all questions contained in the application truthfully and completely. I further acknowledge that failure on my part to answer questions truthfully and completely may result in legal action taken against me.

Do you agree?
We will use your email address to respond to your report or request if needed.
