Someone on facebook told me that the previous owner allowed the graffiti to stay and it became a public landmark, then the new owner decided to remove it.
If that IS the case (I can't find any info on it) then it makes it more complicated.

OK so it is more complicated...
according to what I found:
https://nypost.com/2013/11/19/5-poin...ght-paint-job/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5_Pointz
The owner Wolkoff leased out the building to various artists, many who decorated the building with graffiti. Then in 2013 Wolkoff decided he wanted to tear down the building, so he painted over the graffiti to prevent the artists from getting the building designated a landmark.

Its complicated as soon as a building is declared a landmark or historical. The office I'm currently in is a historical building. A remnant of the old warehouses in the city, now remodelled as an office space. This has limitations on what we can do.
I'm sorry to see the grafitti go. Its one of the most interesting art forms when done properly.

Since the owner leased the property and gave the artists permission to use the building for graffiti, and the graffiti became a famous landmark, it makes it a lot tougher to defend removing it. He still owns the property, but once he leased it to others he gave up a lot of his rights. Depends on the contract he had probably.
