I have contacted the COR Unit and asked how photos of graphitti taken by Londoners can help the LPS.

Recent charges laid by London’s Municipal Law Enforcement Officers have led to fines and Prohibition Orders for landlords who violated residential zoning regulations.
In one case, Marek Mokracki was convicted of creating a basement apartment in a residential zone which permitted only one dwelling per property and was fined $750.
In another case, Medhi Shahabi was fined $1,000 and issued a Prohibition Order for permitting a building to be used for six dwelling units in a residential zone which permits only two dwelling units. Failure to comply with a Prohibition Order could lead to contempt of court charges.
Zoning by-laws establish and regulate the use of land by implementing the policies of a city's Official Plan. They provide cities with a way to coordinate land uses, protect areas by preventing incompatible uses, and establish appropriate standards for development .
