New group that lives in the house are constantly parking in yellow at the intersection causing a traffic hazard. This is already a difficult intersection to see.

This commercial property is in a residential neighborhood and has 3 unregistered vehicles parked along the street, numerous discarded tires, and lots of misc trash littering the outside.
This is the SECOND time I'm bring this issue to the City's attention. The person who has a private parking spot at 521 W Smith Avenue refuses to park within the white lines (parking ON the lines does not cut it; either the person is totally unaware of his vehicle location, or he refuses to follow the law and compromises the safe travel along this little run of Smith Ave. e.g. makes it problematic for city sanitation, UPS/USPS/FedX, and emergency vehicles. (I would include a photo of his current "on the line" parking which is about two feet away from his limestone wall e.g. PLENTY of extra space to ease out of the middle of the street, but you get the the 'picture'. Again, this is my second request to move the City into action. A small problem, but it represents a long-standing disregard or manipulation for/of the law. And as I said before, I spoke with this person directly and encouraged him to park between the lines.)

Hello Car blocking the bike lane on washington between 2nd and 1st st's Wed 8/30/23 at 6:11 pm IL Plate DF 12549 thanks!
I am routinely seeing cars parked in front of the fire hydrant at 525 E. University St. Twice I've called the BPD to report it (other times I've left notes on cars or spoken directly to the car owners) and twice I've watched BPD drive by and do nothing. Each time BPD drove by about 10 minutes after my call which makes me think they got the call and just chose not to take action. In the very least the yellow paint in front of the fire hydrant needs to be redone, as it is very faint. I think it would be helpful if they painted the fire hydrant as well.
Parked on yellow curb, blocking a fire hydrant & too close to intersection.
