Just received a response from the city regarding the death to the graffiti garages, many of you want to know who to talk to. Feel free to contact Dan McConaughy at 591-2047 with any questions.
Good afternoon– Below is the response from Dan McConaughy of Building and Land Use Services — Public Works Department.
Dan said he would talk with you if you had any questions. His contact number is 591-2047.
I am responding to the email sent to the Mayor’s office regarding the graffiti located at the parking garages at 723 Broadway. Code Enforcement received a complaint from the Tacoma Police Department regarding the graffiti. At that time an inspector went and verified the complaint. The parking garages have no doors and the graffiti was visible to the public. A “Notice of Violation” was sent to the property owner requesting that they voluntarily remove the graffiti from the property. Attached with the Notice of Violation are the procedures to request an appeal if the owner so chooses. No appeal was filed and the property was re-inspected on January 11, 2008 and found to be in compliance with city code. To my knowledge, all actions by the owner were voluntary.
This Thursday at The Helm there will be an opening reception featuring the work of local artists Zachary Marvick and Chris Sharp. The show will feature paintings and drawings from both artists as well as a small video installation. Both artists will be in attendance for the the reception which will take place between 5pm and 10pm. There will be hors d’oeuvres and refreshments for all to enjoy.
Urbanaut was a success. Even though it was originally planned for the graffiti garages being moved down the street to Sanford and Sons seemed to work out for the best. Nude painting, music, artists, people, and alcohol always make for the perfect cocktail of fun.
