Gentile’s graffiti hotline off to fast start
Fifteen locations cleaned in two weeks
Take that, graffiti vandals!
When Councilman Vincent Gentile gave his constituents a chance to fight graffiti, they responded in overwhelming numbers, according to an aide to the lawmaker, who said a hotline number he set up to report the crime has been inundated with calls.
Sara Steinweiss, a community outreach aide to Gentile, told Community Board 11 on Thursday that in its first two weeks, the councilman’s new anti-graffiti program has been responsible for cleaning 15 locations.
