People have been using Covina Street as an abandoned vehicle lot for at least 18 months. This blocks the line of sight of people exiting the condominiums and has caused many near accidents.
Multiple residents have complained, but the police never come out and do anything. An old blue F-100 hasn't moved at all since 2013, which is so long that there is mud settled and caked around the tires. A white trailer has been there for nearly the same amount of time, but when a resident complains to the police, it will disappear for 2 days and then come back for months. When can a private citizen tow an abandoned vhicle? I would think 2 years would be enough time?

So has anyone come back to you on this on whether it is illegal?
I had heard that was was illegal in Newport News to park a car for longer than 2 weeks, but if the police have decided that it's open season, that's good for me! Since I'll be gone for some time, I'd love to be able to store my old truck for free. Please let me know if this residential neighborhood is "open for business" for free storage so I can use it too!

The city and the police department no longer monitor this site since the creation of the 311 center more then a year ago. Info on 311 can be found at: http://www.nnva.gov/311/Contact-Center
A few things about parking in the city
* if the street is a private road the city does do parking enforcement on abandoned vehicles
* If the vehicles registration and inspection are still valid and the vehicle appears to be drive-able the city does not considered to be in violation of city code (FYI the truck in the picture has antique tags which are NON-expiring there for it can not be classified abandoned unless all of the vehicles tires are flat or has been in a significant crash)
* If you do not call and report the vehicles they will no be investigated which is only done Monday-Friday during the day on non-holidays by police aides or parking enforcement staff not patrol officers.
For specific area of the city you are in you can call the North Precinct Police station (Denbigh) directly to have the information passed on to a police aid for review @369-3105

Well, that is not very nice. I can read and I choose to support those in the community who are trying to make a positive impact. There can be no change without the desire. Sure, there have been budget cuts and the landscapers seem to take the brunt of the axe, but we can and will work past the issues and unite for the community. I stand by my last post and support all who have the dream to better themselves.
