The purpose and intent of this section is to
prohibit graffiti vandalism and to provide a procedure requiring the
removal of graffiti from property within the City of Mayville. Graffiti
contributes to blight and deterioration of surrounding properties
and reduces the physical attractiveness of the neighborhood and is
detrimental to the City. Graffiti constitutes a public nuisance and
must be abated promptly in order to alleviate the detrimental impact
it has on the neighborhoods, businesses, surrounding properties, the
citizens and the City of Mayville in general.
A. Graffiti vandalism prohibited.
(1) Graffiti defined. "Graffiti" means any inscription,
word, figure or design marked, scratched, etched, drawn or painted
with spray paint, liquid paint, ink, chalk, dye, markers or other
similar substances on buildings, fences, structures, signs and other
similar places without the express permission of the owner or operator
of the property.
(2) Graffiti vandalism prohibited. No person may write,
paint or draw any inscription, figure or mark of any type on any public
or private building or other real or personal property owned, operated
or maintained by any private person or public entity, agency, firm
or corporation, unless the express permission of the owner or operator
has been obtained. This shall not be construed to prohibit the placement
of temporary and easily removable chalk or other water-soluble markings
on public or private streets, sidewalks or other paved surfaces incident
to youth activities such as hopscotch and various types of ball games
or any lawful business activity.
(3) Penalty.
(a)
Any person who violates Subsection
A(2) shall be subject to a penalty as provided in §
317-22 of this chapter, in addition to any applicable fees, assessments and costs of prosecution. In addition, any person who shall cause physical damage to or destroy any public property shall be liable for the costs of replacing or repairing such damaged or destroyed property.
[Amended 3-10-2008 by Ord. No. 1006-2008]

Parental liability. Pursuant to § 895.035,
Wis. Stats., the parent(s) of an unemancipated minor may be liable
for the damage to property caused by the wilful, malicious or wanton
act of such child; such liability shall not exceed $5,000.
B. Graffiti abatement.
(1) Graffiti prohibited. No private person or public entity, agency, firm or corporation who or which is the owner of any real or personal property where graffiti exists as defined in Subsection
A(1) of this chapter may maintain or allow any graffiti to remain upon such property for a period of more than 10 days.
(2) Abatement notification.
(a)
Upon official and written notification, the Building Inspector shall, within five days of receiving said notification, serve any property owner whose property has been affected by the application of graffiti a written notice to abate requiring the property owner to remove, restore, clean up or repair such property within 10 days of the date of such notice. The notice shall identify the property affected, shall generally describe the location of the graffiti and direct that the graffiti be removed within 10 days of receipt of the notice to abate. The notice shall also include that if the owner fails to remove the graffiti within the time specified in the notice, the owner may be subject to a forfeiture as provided in Subsection
B(3).
[Amended 3-10-2008 by Ord. No. 1006-2008]
(b)
Such notice may be served personally by the
Building Inspector or his/her authorized representative or by registered,
certified or regular mail, and service upon any one of joint or in-common
owners shall constitute valid service upon all property owners.
(3) Penalty.
(a)
Any person, entity, agency, firm or corporation who or which violates Subsection
B(1) shall be subject to a penalty as provided in §
317-22 of this chapter, together with the cost of prosecution.
[Amended 3-10-2008 by Ord. No. 1006-2008]
(b)
A violation of Subsection
B(1) exists on the date that the citation is issued and continues to exist until remedied. Each day in which a violation continues shall be determined a separate and distinct offense.
(c)
Payment of a monetary forfeiture does not relieve
the owner or operator of the property of the duty to abate the graffiti
nuisance.
(d)
If, after 30 days upon receipt of notice to
abate, the property owner or operator fails to comply with the terms
of said notice, in addition to the penalties set forth under this
subsection, the City may cause the removal, restoration, cleanup or
repair of such property affected by the graffiti. Pursuant to § 66.0627,
