Parking enforcement for Chinatown properties
Chinatown's restaurant plazas, senior and family apartment buildings, and small lots near the Metro station and Dodger Stadium see heavy demand, especially on game days. Plaza owners need to keep customer spaces open, and apartment managers need to protect residents' parking.

Parking rules to know in Chinatown
What your signs must list
Tow-away signs have to list the phone number of the local traffic law enforcement agency. In Chinatown, that's the Los Angeles Police Department. We print it on the free signs we install.
Overnight street parking in Chinatown
Parts of Los Angeles are Overnight Parking Districts, where parking on designated streets between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. requires a resident permit (LAMC §80.54). Many neighborhoods also have preferential parking districts that limit street parking to permit holders.
Who authorizes each tow
Someone authorized by your property signs a written authorization for each tow and is present to verify the violation. Vehicles in fire lanes, within 15 feet of a hydrant, or blocking an entrance or exit can be covered by a written general authorization instead.
