Any person found to be in violation of § 131.18 shall be required to remove or cause to be removed the graffiti from the surface on which it was placed. Inasmuch as it is often not possible to determine the identity of the person who applied the graffiti, it shall be the duty of the owner or person in control of the premises on which the graffiti has been applied to promptly remove the graffiti after notice as hereinafter set forth. If, after notice as hereinafter provided, the graffiti nuisance is not abated, the City may proceed to abate the graffiti nuisance and the costs of same shall be assessable against the property.
