Chapter 141 Graffiti
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Brewster 9-14-1994 by L.L. No. 2-1994 (Ch. 103 of the 1992 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Village of Brewster Board of Trustees hereby finds and declares that graffiti poses a serious problem for our residents and merchants. The unabated proliferation of graffiti is a physical blight upon the landscape of our Village and costs taxpayers, merchants and homeowners substantial moneys to remove and repair. The Village of Brewster Board of Trustees also finds that, when unchecked, graffiti presents an image of a deteriorating community, a community that no longer cares about itself.
