On the WOTS app, there is an issue category for blocking the crosswalk. They usually respond within the hour.

On iphone or android. It's the reporting system that Jersey City Parking Authority uses for residents to report illegal parking and other things.

WOTS, even though it's a shitty app, still works very well once you posted the issue. Sometimes it takes a few tries to post, just persist.

I've had much better luck reporting issues after the recent app update.

Do they actually do anything? The other day I saw a parking authority person in a parking lot and asked them to ticket someone parked in a crosswalk directly in front, and they just blew me off.

It depends on the employee. If they get enough complaints of the same nature they’ll do something because a supervisor will get involved. I’ve had so so luck with it. Sometimes they get there in an hour other times I’ve had them take 4 plus hours. I only know this because they send a notice when they close out your complaint

Yes more times than not. If nothing else, it provides accountability via a digital fingerprint. An officer has to look at the complaint and any supporting photos and they have to dispatch an officer to the scene. They're tracked on how long it takes them to respond, and they are tracked on how they disposition the issue. There is no record created when you just talk to an officer on the street
