Question:
I have reported a graffiti problem on my street and received an email that it had been cleaned up. that email was false as nothing was done. I have repeatedly called your graffiti abatement office at 626-458-2542 (Erica Meza) and keep getting a recording. nobody has returned my calls. is there another number that i can call a talk with a human being??
