The same 4 cars always block the crosswalks and curb ramps there, directly in front of a senior tower. Half the time they don't even have tags on them. I don't understand why DOT doesn't just tow them.

I tend to see different cars each time and usually with license plates. I assumed it would be harder to combat since it's many rotating illegal parkers, rather than a few sitting long-term. Maybe we're talking about different places? Or maybe usage depends on the time of day?

Next time you go by look at the intersection right at Maryland. There are almost always 3 cars: an illegally parked tow truck, and a red Lexus and a black car blocking crosswalks. All three rotate different plates or have no plates depending on the day. There's a 4th Volkswagen that normally parks by the hydrant or the other no stopping zone.

Submit it to 311 on the app with pictures. It alerts DOT and they might also ticket even if they move with such evidence.

That makes zero sense from personal experience of seeing cars get ticketed that I’ve reported. Maybe that’s just for you.
