What to do
If a vehicle is blocking your driveway, file a different report to have that vehicle cited or towed.
If a vehicle is abandoned and is creating a health or safety problem on private property, file a different report to have the vehicle inspected and removed. An example is a stripped down, rusted car that is attracting rodents in a fenced off lot or yard.
1. Fill out a form

We will need:
- The location
- License plate number

2. Track your case
After you report, you will get a tracking number from 311. You can use this number, and your email address if provided, to track your case online or on the SF311 mobile app.
