Is there anything I can do about a car parked in front of my house?

Question

The postman won't deliver mail because the box is blocked by the car. Is there anything I can do?

Answer 1

Has the car been sitting there for any length of time?  Do you know if any one of your neighbours owns the car?  If you do, ask them politely to move it.  If it has been sitting there for a long period of time, call the parking authority dept. at your local police station and ask them to either ticket or tow the car.

Answer 2

dismantle the machine

Answer 3

Call the Department of Homeland Security and tell 'em there's a suspicious car on your street.

Actually, most cities have ordinances about how long a parked car can stay parked on the street before it's towed away.

Is it your neighbor, and if so do they know about the mail situation?

Answer 4

Have it towed.

Answer 5

Is it your car? If it is move the car. If it`s not call a tow truck to come and get it towed. If it is someone you knows car ask them to move it. If they say no get the tow truck and tow it away.

Answer 6

when the car leaves...either go park ur car there....or if u dont have one....put a chair..... :P

Answer 7

nah. not that i know of.  but i do know that it depends on city.  some city will say sumthing like it would be a safety hazard if a car is parked directly in front of your house. so i recommend that you contact the city.  they will check it out and tell you if its okay or not. so do that.  and yes, i know how annoying that is since i had to deal with that situation before.  

Answer 8

It sounds like you may have to get the car towed unless you can get the owner to park the car elsewhere.  

Answer 9

Call the cops and have it towed.  Anybody that drives knows that you aren't supposed to block a mail box.  The driver is ignorant.  

Answer 10

tell your postman to do his job first of all, secondly ask whoever own the car to move it. the postman can't just not deliver your mail because there is a car in front of your mailbox, that illegal

Answer 11

they do that at my house to. call the copps

Answer 12

call the township, get it towed?

Answer 13

The postman has to deliver the mail to you. If the car is legal, registration, plates etc there isn't much you can do.. I suggest calling your post office and explaining to them..good luck

Answer 14

Yes you can if the car is blocking your driveway but other than that there is nothing that you can do because it is a public road and as for the mailman not delivering your mail, well that you can do something about by call your local post office and speaking to the station manager..

Answer 15

You could leave a note on the windshield of the car not to park next time cause it is blocking your mail box.  

Answer 16

Call your local police department (usually 311) or tell them it is a non-emergency and explain that you are not getting your mail because a car is blocking your mailbox. Can you have that car towed?

I would think that would be a reason to have the police involved.

In not getting your mail, you cannot pay your bills.

Good luck
