Parking enforcement in our residential neighborhoods has been terrible, but is excellent near City Hall. There is no excuse. Lax enforcement of regulations that affect residents on a daily basis makes our lives more difficult and stressful (especially when you have to park on one side of the street for 7 days!). These quality-of-life issues make life in New Haven much less enjoyable than it could be, and the administration (past, present, and future) is much to blame.

A number of residents are documenting these violations with photos on this website. There is quite a little collection of selfish behavior on the part of people who shouldn't park here, and poor enforcement on the part of the city.

All our vehicles are were tied up with snow removal operations today.When they become available we will be looking into this issue.

On 2/25/14 officer went through the area all cars found in violation were ticketed. The PM supervisor has agreed to increase enforcement in this area in the evening.

Thank you Parking Enforcement.

I have to comment on the remark "All our vehicles are were tied up with snow removal operations today.When they become available we will be looking into this issue." This is just adding insult to injury. Tilton Street certainly did not get any benefit from these vehicles!!! I am a resident and I can verify our street never got plowed all the way for the last three snowfalls. We had at least 4 inches of ice and snow on most of the street through the entire month of February until the past two days when the weather finally got warmer. It was very dangerous - I saw more than one car get stuck well after all of the other streets in New Haven were plowed. My housemate issued a complaint on this website and it was "acknowledged" but never addressed, and I have seen several other complaints about the same thing. Please, someone tell me where to issue complaints so that the city will actually respond to them?

I wholeheartedly agree with you. The parking ban ended last week and now their using it as an excuse. The up shot is they did respond which is more response than anyone's gotten from T & P in weeks. That being said;
call 203-946-8200 Mayor's Office- ask for specific names and numbers of the issues your concerned about- Your Alderperson should also be informed and may have some better contact information for you

As a result of the help from the residents of zone 7 we have increased enforcement of the residential zone and have issued citations to all vehicles in violation every day this week. We will have a continued presence in residential parking zone 7 to ensure parking by non-residents does not continue to pose a problem going forward. An officer has been dispatched today to check up on the zone. I am closing this issue, and we encourage you to repost as the problem persists. Thank you for your help and cooperation in this matter.
