Rockhill Tenants Collective

Residents of the Rockhill apartments in Montreal

Graffiti Partially Cleaned

The administration tried to remove the graffiti on the walls but it can still be seen. It might be necessary to call in a professional cleaner with pressure washing equipment and/or effective solvents. Here are some suggestions:

1. Motsenbocker’s Lift Off

This product line includes specific graffiti removers that are environmentally friendly and designed to work on multiple surfaces, including brick. Lift Off is formulated to break down the molecular bond between the paint and the surface without causing damage.

2. Dumond Chemicals - Graffiti Remover

Dumond offers a range of graffiti removers that are effective on brick. These products are biodegradable and designed to remove a variety of paints and coatings without the use of harmful chemicals.

3. Elephant Snot Graffiti Remover

Despite its unusual name, Elephant Snot is a popular choice for removing graffiti from porous surfaces like brick. It’s highly effective at penetrating deep into pores to dissolve graffiti without damaging the substrate.

4. Krud Kutter Graffiti Remover

Krud Kutter produces a graffiti remover that is suitable for use on brick, concrete, and many other surfaces. It is non-toxic, biodegradable, and can remove a variety of paints and stains.

The Collective

Affected by the deterioration of the Rockhill Apartments in Montreal, some tenants began meeting in July 2023 to consider ways to address the situation.

From these meetings emerged the Rockhill Tenants Collective, a spontaneous group dedicated to upholding the rights of residents and the heritage value of this once upscale and avant-garde complex.
