Los Angeles to require anti-graffiti coating on new homes
Oct 1, 2009, 15:47 GMT
Los Angeles - The Los Angeles City Council has passed a law requiring all new buildings and homes in Los Angeles to be coated in a special anti-graffiti coating, it was reported Wednesday.
The unanimous vote requires that the clear coating be placed over existing paint up to a height of around 3 metres, the Los Angeles Daily News reported. The impermeable coating means that graffiti can easily be wiped off with a cloth within minutes.
Until the passing of the new ordinance, city laws had required the coating only on commercial buildings. Homeowners can opt out of the mandatory anti-graffiti coating if they sign a commitment to remove any graffiti within one week or within 72 hours of being notified by city inspectors.
