“Dear PoPville,
Got this bonkers parking ticket last night (a Saturday) at 9:54pm. The citation is for not having an inspection sticker displayed…when it is clearly displayed on my windshield just like everyone else’s…? It even says a tow was requested! (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
At my wits end here so hopefully someone can help. From NE area and our neighbors and I are having a problem with someone parking their fed government car on our street then hoping back in their personal vehicle (with out of states tags) and leaving. The person does not live in the neighborhood, and the vehicle is left for weeks sometime months in the same spot with no movement. (more…)
Thanks to Andrew for sending from 4th and K Street, NW: “Props to the person with the Smartcar.”
Thanks to Sam for sending: “These signs on 19th Street at Kalorama Road in AdMo have me, well, confused…”
Thanks to Terry for sending from Adams Morgan.

Update from DPW:
“The Department of Public Works takes locating scofflaw vehicles and getting them off the street seriously. Parking enforcement officers are trained to inspect all vehicles, including those with car covers. The use of a car cover does not exempt a vehicle from inspection, ticketing, or further enforcement actions. We also encourage residents to submit 311 requests if they see a vehicle in violation of the city’s parking laws. Such requests are all part of the process of identifying vehicles that may pose a danger to the community and maintaining safe and accessible streets for all.”
“Dear PoPville,
Following a series of parking enforcement actions in 16th Street Heights that results in a number of cars with thousands of dollars of tickets being towed, there is a proliferation of cars parked on the streets completely covered by tarps.
