UPDATE: City of LA Resumes Enforcement for Vehicles Used as Dwellings

On April 6, 2022, the Los Angeles City Council directed LADOT to adopt an updated prioritization process for citing and towing abandoned and oversized vehicles, as outlined in this report. The City Council also directed LADOT to immediately resume parking enforcement for vehicles used as dwellings found to be in violation of any of the following categories:

• Vehicles that pose a traffic safety hazard
• Vehicles that pose a public health or environmental hazard
• Vehicles that interfere with public works projects or special events
• Inoperable vehicles
• Unregistered vehicles

Council further instructed LADOT to resume enforcement of all posted parking regulations beginning on May 15, 2022. LADOT works with other city departments to initiate outreach and offer services to occupants of vehicles used for dwelling prior to a vehicle being towed.
