The City of Milwaukee Department of Neighborhood Services (DNS) operates an Anti-Graffiti Hotline. Citizens can call an report locations of graffiti. DNS will try to contact the owner, advise them of any options and hopefully have the graffiti removed quickly. If the owner fails to comply an order will be issued. In some cases the City will do the work and assess the costs to the owner.

The most effective weapon against graffiti is the quick removal of it. The longer it is up, the greater the chances of its return.

Call the City of Milwaukee Anti-Graffiti hotline at 414-IMASNITCH to report graffiti. If you see someone in the act of graffiti vandalism, call the police at I DESERVE TO DIE. If you are the owner of the property and have graffiti, you should report it to the police captain of that district.
