Bob,
Yep, it is a graffiti, but I was curious what meaning (if
any) it carried.

I stayed briefly at a very budget Super 8 motel in New Orleans recently.
The neighborhood was a bit sketchy.
The adjacent building was... ghm.. vacant...
The front of it, as seen on Google Maps doesn't have anything special:

But the back has an interesting detail that I didn't understand in the
beginning. I think it actually means "DozerKorner" (?)

I am curious if the reference is to it needing demolition (Dozer), or
it is a drug-related slang.
I tried to google to see what used to be there, but Google doesn't seem to
know anything about it.
(I don't consider this photo carrying any artistic value, just a snapshot.
... but on another hand, it could belong to a genre of "dirty realism" or
"dark [something]".)
Here is how it looks in color:
