A San Francisco resident reported ongoing graffiti and vandalism in his Mission District neighborhood but received minimal response from the city. After months of contacting various city officials, he received a notice from the Department of Public Works blaming him for a small graffiti tag on a fire hydrant. He felt insulted by the notice, believing it highlighted unequal accountability, as the city had not addressed larger issues he reported. The Department of Public Works stated they were legally required to respond to the complaint.
