Usually it can fit two parked cars, but they typically would take both spots up inconsiderately and never further or farther back in the street. But I believe they left their lights on after parking once and now their battery is dead and it hasn't moved for a month and I want to park back closer to my house.

Should I try to get this car removed? How would I go about doing it?

First you call a tow company to tell them that you suspect it's abandon then they themselves will probably call the city, someone from the city will come out and mark it or some shit idk

Can the city even do anything as long as the tags are current?

Neighbors have ring cameras soo

Reddit does say to just smear a bunch of dog shit under and near the car... But it's still in front of my house so I don't think that's the best idea LMAO

Unless there's posted permit parking or it's a private road then it's gonna be on public property and there's nothing you can legally do about it.

If it is not in operable condition or has expired registration then maybe, depending on local laws.

No, that would be abandoning it. But parking in the public right of way in front of someone's house is perfectly legal.

If you can somehow show that it's been abandoned, different story.

Leave a note on the car and see if the owner sees it and moves? Beyond that, a month feels like a reasonable amount of time. I would get the license plate and call the police and see if they can find the owner.

Not if it's legally parked on the street, which it seems to be.

Just because a street has public parking doesn't mean you're allowed to leave your car there indefinitely. Most cities/states, you're only legally allowed to stay parked a max of 48-72 hours at a time.

my neighbors car got flagged for being abandoned parked in their driveway. but it had a flat tire for months so it made it rather obvious.

i doubt they'd really do anything if it looks fine but wouldn't hurt to call the city or police station and ask. where are you at? if it's someplace that snows it might get towed for blocking the road.

Log onto your citys website and there should be some sort of a thing to report stuff. Tell them that there is an inoperable vehicle parked for over a month and it will be gone soon. At least thats how it works here.

I'd contact the city. A car being parked for a month straight is effectively abandoned. Worst the city can do is say no I guess.

Does your street not have weekly street cleaning TC? If a car was parked for a month straight in LA, it would have gotten towed just from the amount of parking tickets it would have.

But yeah, I'd call the city or the non emergency police line and report it as abandoned.

They do have street cleaning, parking is on one side and I guess they don't care to move etc.

Then I feel like the city should at least be aware of that car already. So if someone (you) calls to complain about it, it will probably be the push they need to actually tow it.

That's kind of short sighted. If it's not moving it will be there when it is removed and you want to park the car there.
