‘Tale of 2 graffitis’ as Blas dawdles

Mayor de Blasio refused to say when city workers would clean graffiti that says “F–k cops” and “ACAB” (“All cops are bastards”) from the David N. Dinkins Municipal Building in lower Manhattan — even though Department of Transportation workers restored the Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower a day after it was defaced last week.

“The graffiti is just not acceptable and I want to be very clear, graffiti on public buildings will be removed, period,” de Blasio said when asked about the smears on the building and surrounding municipal property.

“There are some challenges just technically with the surfaces,” he said of the delay.

“Cleaning off the graffiti in this case with the particular stone, as I understand it, comes with a lot more work and complication. One would think paint on a street is a much simpler matter.”

He declined to provide a timeline for the work.

“It’s upsetting that the city has no plan to remove the horrifying graffiti from the David Dinkins Municipal Building,” local resident Jamal Roberts told The Post.

“It’s been over 30 days and the excuse that the stone is challenging is an insult to the legacy of the first African-American mayor. It truly is the tale of two graffitis. The mayor is only concerned with cleaning the one that fits his political narrative,” said Roberts, 35.

DOT workers scrubbed red paint poured on the bright-yellow letters of the Black Lives Matter mural in front of Trump Tower in Midtown just 24 hours after a man defaced it last week.

The department acted swiftly again when four people were arrested for dumping blue paint on the tribute days later.

No arrests have been made for the defacement of the Dinkins building or nearby properties.

“Are we surprised? That just shows how he’s been since the beginning,” a police source told The Post.

“He’s never been a big fan of the NYPD or the officers under him. That’s why crime is up, because the cops know they have a mayor that doesn’t care,” the source said.

The graffiti also appeared on other municipal properties, including the Tweed Courthouse and Surrogate’s Court on Chambers Street — around when protesters began occupying nearby City Hall Park last month to demand $1 billion in cuts to the NYPD’s budget.

Even though the mayor approved the cuts, the encampment remains.
