Without seeing the ferrule to ferrule contact it's hard to say if the termination is really dirty. Yes the jacket is dirty. What they have done that is a cardinal sin is running the fiber between equipment through the center of a rack rather than around or above.
I hope whoever installed that has a good cletop, fiber scope, set of ferrule sleeve cleaning swabs, push click cleaning tool.
Also hard to say if it's dirty or bad without seeing the back/internal side of that patch panel. Knowing city governments it could be anything from a dreadful mechanical splice to a perfectly done core alignment fusion splicer with 0.01 loss.
