Just curious because I have a somewhat similar issue...you say police were called and they told neighbors to document. Document what? I'm not implying anything negative about the SPPD but I thought they were responsible for handling illegal parking issues. At least that's what I've seen the Mayor's response team tell people on this site time and again unless it's a yard parking/code violation.

Law enforcement issues (illegal parking or other activities, noise ordinance violations, etc.) need to be reported directly to the St. Petersburg Police Department by calling 727-893-7780 (for non-emergencies) or 911 (for emergencies.)

Are they parked on the land that they rent? In other words: Are they parked on public property or are they parked on their own rented property? I'm not saying that they aren't @#$% bags, they probably are, but if they're parked on private land maybe there's a reason why the cops aren't getting involved. Maybe there's some alternative action to be conducted?!!! You know, like walking briskly past while sighing heavily under your breath.

Thank you for the SeeClickFix on April 26, 2016. Chief Holloway has asked me to respond directly to you regarding the vehicle illegally parked by blocking driveway access at 2134 ½ Burlington Avenue North. The information you provided was forwarded to Community Service Sergeant Richard Hladik to investigate.

Sergeant Hladik reported that he assigned Officer Mike Christian to investigate the illegal parking. Officer Christian advised he checked the area and did not see any violations or the vehicle you spoke of. Please feel free to call the non-emergency number, (727)893-7780, when the vehicle is illegally parked so it can be addressed while it is occurring.

If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact the Community Service Unit at (727) 551-3183. Thank you for bringing this concern to our attention.

Sincerely,

Luke C. Williams
