question about New Orleans street parking
Posted on 6/16/15 at 12:59 pm

Somebody has left their car parked in front of my house for over two weeks now, approaching three weeks. It has not moved and it's getting to be ridiculous. Has anyone dealt with this problem before? I'm wondering at what point can I call and have the car towed.

Just push it into the middle of the street. The city will move it.

I don't know what the definition of an abandoned car is, but you can find out.

Is there not 2 hour residential parking limits in your neighborhood? If it were uptown, that thing would have a book of tickets and a boot on it.

it's in Uptown but I'm not aware of any 2 hour residential parking limit.

Good luck with that attempt. Are your hands amputated or something?
Get some confidence. Say "I AM going to call that number!"

Dealing with the quality of life officer is beyond ridiculous. I've given up on even getting in touch with the one in the 3rd. I think the position may be a running joke in each district just to see how they can send people through a maze of trying to navigate inefficient city agencies.

Light it on fire. Fire department comes and puts it out. It gets towed immediately after.

One would think that, but the car that caught on fire at the VA hospital a few months ago sat between 1615 and 1555 Poydras for over a week, and that's right in the CBD.

How is it bothering you?
I put out some gravel in front of my house. Now that I created "my" driveway, I do get irrational anger build up when I see someone else park in it
I then remind myself I don't own that area and they will move shortly, however, I don't know if I could last 3 weeks. I'm too proud of my work.

It's bothering me because it's parked directly in front of my house, too close to the neighbor's driveway to fit a car behind it, but just barely. I end up having to park down the street most of the time.
