SF restaurant owner frustrated after city fines him because of constant graffiti on his business

Viet Nguyen, owner of the soon-to-open Gao Viet Kitchen in the Inner Sunset, told NBC Bay Area that he is tired of his restaurant being targeted by vandals and repeatedly having to paint over the graffiti.

The latest tagging of his restaurant also came with a violation notice from the San Francisco Department of Public Works last week. The notice instructed Nguyen to clean up the graffiti in 30 days or face a $362 fine.

“The graffiti, it costs me a lot of money because every tag, I’ve got to go paint that thing. I don’t actually expect it to stop, but the most frustrating thing is, I keep on getting tagged by the city, but what can I do?” Nguyen told ABC7 News. “I clean it up, I board it up, or whatever I need to do and it comes back.”

Gao Viet Kitchen is scheduled to open in September. While the owner has been busy transforming the space of his Vietnamese restaurant, he has lost count of the amount of times his business has been tagged.

The San Francisco Department of Public Works paused their enforcement of graffiti code violations during the pandemic. However, enforcement resumed last week after two years, according to Rachel Gordon, a spokesperson for the San Francisco Department of Public Works.

“Properties that are hit time and time and time again can do something called applying for a hardship,” Gordon informed NBC Bay Area. “San Francisco Public Works will use our crews or contractor crews working for us to go and do courtesy abatement for six months.”

Welcome to the Leftie/Demmie world where law abiding citizens are punished and criminals are protected...

Hmmm... Isn't SF the same city that allows "Grab & Dash"?
