Who should I call for vehicles left parked for a long period of time on City streets?
Any vehicle including cars, boats, RV s etc. must be moved every 72 hours (3 days) or they are considered stored on a public street . It is best to call Parking/Vehicle Abatement hotline (925) 809-7827 and leave the make, color and license plate of the vehicle, along with the exact location, on the recording. Once we obtain this information, we will go out to the location and issue a Courtesy Notice. This is NOT a ticket or citation it is simply giving the owner an opportunity to move the vehicle prior to getting a citation. The owner then has 72 hours to move the vehicle ( move the vehicle requires the odometer reading to change). After 72 hours if the vehicle has not moved, we will issue a parking citation. An officer will then return to the location after 24 hours of the citation, and, if the vehicle has again not moved, will tow the vehicle to a local tow yard. The registered owner will be required to come into the police station to obtain a vehicle release and pay the Police Admin
