Whenever the Borough Manager or his or her designee determines that graffiti is located on a public or privately owned structure or other permanent surface on public or privately owned real property within the borough so as to be visible from any public right-of-way or other public or private property in the borough, the Borough Manager or his or her designee is authorized to provide for the removal of graffiti solely at the borough’s expense, without reimbursement from the property owner upon whose property the graffiti has been applied, upon the following conditions:
(A) The borough shall not paint or repair a more extensive area than is necessary to remove the graffiti; and
(B) Where the structure or permanent surface is owned by a public entity other than this borough, the removal of the graffiti may be performed only after securing the consent of the public entity having jurisdiction over the structure or permanent surface and only after such entity has executed an appropriate release and right of entry from permitting such graffiti removal.
