More Information:

• Each police district has an NLU that handles this and other neighborhood concerns.
• Depending on the violation, this is a multi-step process that is not resolved on the same day it is reported.
• Typically, an NLU police officer will investigate on a future business day and must leave a notice for the vehicle owner. Time must then be given to see if the vehicle is moved. On a return visit by the officer, if the vehicle has not moved, it is towed. Once this process is complete, the officer will close the 311 Service Request.
• Internally, this process is defined by CPD Procedure 12.275.
