Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Graffiti is undesirable and constitutes a visually discordant effect
on property and neighborhoods. It shall be unlawful for any person, without
the owner's authorization, to mark the walls or windows or buildings
or any other structures, poles, monuments or installation by spray paint or
any other medium or otherwise maliciously damage, deface or vandalize such
property by so doing.
Owners of the property in the Township shall be required to remove graffiti
from all buildings and structures on their property within 30 days after its
appearance or within 30 days of the owner, property manager or tenant receiving
notification of such graffiti, whichever shall be later. It shall be the responsibility
of the Construction and Zoning Official to issue such notices.
B.
The Judge of the Municipal Court upon conviction of a
defendant of the violation of this chapter, may require the defendant to remove
the graffiti or to pay for the removal of the graffiti. The Judge of the Municipal
Court in imposing sentence may take into account whether or not the defendant
had complied with any order that might be entered by the Judge for the removal
of the graffiti.
