§ 42-97. Removal by city.

Upon failure of persons to comply with the notice by the designated date, or such continued date thereafter as set forth by the city's officer, then the graffiti may be abated by the city or by private contractor, and the city or its private contractor is expressly authorized to enter the premises for such purposes during regular business hours or at times mutually agreeable with the property owner or occupant. All reasonable efforts to minimize damage from such entry shall be taken by the city. If the city provides for the removal of the graffiti, it shall not authorize or undertake to provide for the painting or repair of any more extensive area than the area where the graffiti is located. When graffiti is painted over, the city or its private contractor shall attempt to match the paint with the underlying color of the defected surface. Property owners in the City of Suwanee may consent in advance to the city entry onto private property for graffiti removal purposes but such consent is not mandatory.
