Repaint the tagged walls of Leland Avenue with the merchants who own them (2026-07-19)

Leland Avenue is Visitacion Valley's small main street, and recurring tags on its storefront walls read as neglect to every passerby the corridor is trying to win back. Merchant-invited same-week repainting, color-matched and tidy, is the proven way to make tagging not stick as a habit. Standard: SF Public Works graffiti abatement practice (merchant consent model); SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Before/after wall photos with merchant consent Method (SF Public Works graffiti abatement practice (merchant consent model); SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm each wall and paint color with the merchant or property owner. 2. Scrape loose material and clean the surface. 3. Prime heavy tags and roll the matched color to natural break lines, not patches. 4. Log each wall with its address and merchant contact. 5. Photograph each wall before and after. Done when: Before/after wall photos with merchant consent

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: Community-coordination hazard survey (documentation + coordination only; severity-tagged)

Bring

• GPS phone
• camera
• hi-vis vest
• severity-tag reference (minor|moderate|severe|critical)

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor from a safe path; record a GPS waypoint at each hazard.
2. 2. Photograph each hazard.
3. 3. Classify the hazard type and assign a severity tag (minor|moderate|severe|critical).
4. 4. Name the responsible handoff target (BID / city agency / utility).
5. 5. Enter each hazard's type, severity, GPS, photo, and handoff target into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• NEVER perform repair or enter the roadway/public right-of-way -> documentation and coordination only.
• Any severity:critical (e.g., live downed wire, open utility vault) -> flag immediately to the responsible agency; keep clear.

What counts as done

• Each hazard photographed with a GPS waypoint
• Severity tag assigned per hazard
• Hazard type classified
• Named handoff target per hazard

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
