To provide well-maintained and attractive public spaces such as streetscapes, sidewalks, and other areas of the public realm.

Graffiti Abatement

Quick removal of graffiti has demonstrated time and time again to increase the sense of safety in an area as well as to generally discourage graffiti.

This program provides rapid response to graffiti tagging on both public and privately owned properties.

For privately owned areas we request that this PERMISSION WAIVER be filled-out and sent to us in order for the EDMD graffiti abatement crews to remove tagging from those locations whenever it occurs.

Right of Way Maintenance

The purpose of this program is to maintain a trash–free and landscaped public rights-of-way in the district. On a regular basis, the EDMD crews pick up trash within the street right-of-way throughout EaDo. The crews address every street within the District, but at a different level of service depending on trash accumulation. The crews also address illegal dumping locations. Included in the service is mowing and edging along the street right-of-way.

Code Enforcement / Nuisance Abatement

In order to retain compliance with the City of Houston Codes, the EDMD conducts field reviews of the entire district once a month. Those types of violations that are reported include abandon buildings, illegal dumping sites, overgrown grass/weeds; and other code and neighborhood protection violations that are enforced by the City of Houston. Regular monitoring of code violations enables the EDMD to retain a high level of standards for the maintenance of private property.
