Reports (361)

chronic driveway blockage | How is the car parked illegally: [Other] Details: [There are currently no regulatory signs where this issue is happening. I have made several attempts to place calls to the Boston Police Department as well as using the 311 app for issues, which most of the time 311 closes the case without it being resolved, and the BPD takes a while to come since it’s a non emergency so the car is no longer there, once they arrive, or if the car is still there the police will alarm there sirens so the person can come out and move it, in which they put it right back after the police leaves. There is a white honda which repeatedly parks there and leave it. I also reach out to the Boston Police Department on making an effort to make a presence /daily routine in this area a little more often, as well as reaching out to you the Boston Parking Clerk. So now I am asking for help again to at least get this area patrolled a little more often.]

On August 8th, my car was ticketed and towed for allegedly blocking a handicap ramp. However, the citation listed the address as 78 Weaver Way, while my car was actually parked across the street at 75 Weaver Way, where no ramp exists. Despite this mistake, I had to pay both the ticket ($100) and towing fees ($200). This has been very frustrating and discouraging, especially since I’ve tried to resolve the issue through normal channels without success as I didn’t have the photo evidence for my initial hearing which resulted in denial of my case. I would appreciate if Mayor Wu could review this and ask the parking clerk to take another look. Much more evidence including my ticket and towing receipt are available if necessary! This is a clear example of negligence in terms of the city of Boston and the BPD.

Cars were towed this morning for a moving permit in front of 67 Whitten Street. The permit is posted; however they did not do any fliers on the street or any cars at any point in time. What is the recourse/penalty for this?

We need more residential permit parking in John Square

I just enjoyed a swim in JP's Curtis Hall pool and came out to find that my car has been towed. It was parked in one of three spaces clearly marked at 20 South Street in front of the Community Center. There are no street cleaning signs on this side of the street and my car was towed for street cleaning. I have called the police department, they city of Boston Towing Department, and the Department of Public Utilities and no one will tell me how to contest the ticket and tow fee. I have put in a 311 to have signs put on this side of the street. As a resident of JP for 20 years, I know how to park for street cleaning and move my car every week in front of my own home. To not have signs in such a valuable parking area is egregious. Thanks for helping fix what is thankfully a minor inconvenience to me today, but could really wreck someone's day. Also, Curtis Hall is amazing and the staff there are wonderful.

Parking sign issued in front of 193 Florence St., Roslindale, there is no signage anywhere on Florence Street denoting that there is street cleaning. I’ve parked here for almost 2 years and never had an issue. Towing company/street cleaning representative informed me that they don’t make the rules and that I should file a complaint. This is a $40 ticket that I refuse to pay and I want Boston to rescind this now or actually put signs out to denote cleaning

On July 25 late in the afternoon I picked up a parking ticket that has ticket number 829890889 at the north corner of Boylston and Clarendon. Before I threw it away I decided to check the ticket and it showed it was not paid yet . I checked again today it was still not paid . Not sure if it was left intentionally or just not properly placed and blown away by the storm that day.

The residents of John Elliott squared need additional residential permit parking.

Hello, i would like to appeal this ticket i got. Violation #829755253 i was given an unpaid meter fee but i paid online on the ParkBoston app for zone 909. When i got to my car, the app said i still had 30 minutes left of time so i was wrongfully ticketed! Here is the proof and timestamps below, thank you for your time!

My contractor received a $100 ticket for parking on Portsmouth St. Brighton. He was doing work all day on 19-21 Portsmouth St. Any way he can fight it by mail?
