I got booted yesterday in a *legal spot near my apt in the Warehouse District. Paid the $541 fine and tried to return the boot this morning. Went to both lots listed on the boot notice. The private security guard at the first lot advised no one from the city showed up to work today, and she couldn't accept the boot. She directed me to the second lot. Second lot flat-out said they wouldn't take it, and sent me back to the first. Went back - the guard called the second lot (no answer) then the City (no answer). I called the city myself, explained the situation to deaf ears, and was told I would receive an additional $500 fine if I don't return the boot w/n 24 hours.
Hope this place sinks into the Gulf sooner rather than later.

I was already leaning that way, but you convinced me. I'm never going back to New Orleans.

If you are in a private garage, then the city of NO has nothing to do with this situation. Its between you and the garage operator.

What do you think the city has to do with a private parking garage? He’s getting the run around but the city isn’t responsible for the parking garage.
All anyone read was he called the city of Nola and immediately rushed in here with the shithole comments.

Something doesn't sound right here.
You were legally parked, and they booted you for that?
Or did you get booted for outstanding camera tickets?
Can't think of a violation that gets you booted and costs $540. You normally get towed if it is a violation like that.

When I lived in Uptown. I had an abandoned car parked in front of my house for 4 months. I finally got the city to remove it after 3 months. Two days after the car was towed away, another car was towed into the spot.

You get booted after 3 unpaid parking tickets. They scan plates of all vehicles parked on city streets, regardless of whether you're parked legally or illegally.
I forgot to pay two of the three tix, and didn't even realize I was cited a third time until I got on the city website last night. That's totally my bad, so I owned it and paid the $541 fine.
My issue arises with the city gov't being so inept/corrupt that they'll threaten an additional $500 no-return fee, despite their own failure to staff the boot return lot during their posted business hours.

Just move out of that shithole. There is nothing desirable left in New Orleans.

Moving to the North Shore in the spring and never looking back. Given my brand new truck’s undercarriage can make it that long. New Orleans roads make me want to start a riot every time I hit one of those pot holes

So you broke the law and got booted?
Also, you should know by now to get a new license plate after the second ticket.
Also also, they will come around and remove the boot and take it with them. Not sure about your situation exactly, but the city didn't boot you, a contractor did. The contractor will just add the boot to your bill and if you change your license plate it is impossible for them to trace.

My apartment in the warehouse district makes us pay to park in the garage there. I'll gladly shell out the money for a gated garage rather than my windows get smashed weekly.
Stop obeying the law, a-hole!

I got a speeding ticket in a heavily democrat run town a few years ago. As soon as I pulled away from being stopped I went straight to City Hall and paid the ticket. A year later my drivers license had a flag on it for an unpaid ticket. Fortunately, I had proof of the payment and went back to City Hall to show it to them. Totally incompetency running town hall and just shrugged their shoulders. Amazing people this dumb can even find their way out of bed in the morning.

Except you didn’t. Sounds like their problem

Burn down the parking garage.
