I'd like to report recurring overnight street parking on the 1450 block of Modoc Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025. I first reported this in request #22759385, and parking enforcement responded and issued citations a few times. Thank you for that. However, the overnight parking has continued. The attached security camera screenshots show vehicles parked on the street between 3:00 and 4:00 AM on the past few days. Menlo Park Municipal Code §11.24.050 prohibits parking between 2:00 and 5:00 AM in residential zones unless a valid overnight permit is displayed. Several of the vehicles associated with this property display temporary or printed paper plates. I'm concerned this may make citations difficult to enforce or trace to a registered owner, which may be why the citations haven't changed the behavior. I'd appreciate it if the Police Department could review whether additional enforcement is appropriate. That could include verifying the validity of the temporary plates and registration, checking for overnight permits, or other measures available for repeat violations. I also have a related open request (#22935495) about possible unpermitted vehicle-related business activity at this property, and about fire and safety hazards from the tires, vehicle parts, and multiple vehicles stored there. Since that request was filed, I've also seen multiple containers of what appear to be automotive fluids (such as motor oil and possibly antifreeze) stored outdoors next to cardboard, dry leaves, and a mattress, near the fence and parked vehicles. The overnight street parking appears to be part of the same pattern, so it may help to review both requests together. Thank you.
