I’ve lived in Germantown my whole life .. and I know people save spots but usually when they’ve dug it out in the snow.
This house on my block is being rehabbed and the workers seem to think they’re entitled to saving a spot right in front of the house.
I move them every time because uh NO.
Is there something stating they can do this legally while working orrr ?
Thanks !

This happens all the time. Construction workers down the street from me literally fenced in two parking spaces so they could leave their cars there while they were working.
Aw man. Well yeah I’m gonna keep moving them and parking because it’s insane. Then they use PGW cones so the older residents think it’s legit , park far and have more of a walk.

311 the shit outta that, if they don't have permits.
Well, they do need to have deliveries of materials. It’s temporary.
It’s been 5 months they do it daily and haven’t brought in materials in the last month . Nor were they doing it daily
Damn, 5 months to rehab a house? This is the work I do. They must suck or the house was really bad. I’m curious though. You are home all day watching them. This means they aren’t taking parking from you. You move whatever barriers yet they are still able to get those spots daily. This means they aren’t taking spots from anyone. I’m not sure I understand the issue.
The house next to me has been 2+ years. No permits and they don’t pay taxes on it either. The contractors suck and I think the owner stops paying them because they show up for 2 weeks and never come back.
Start keeping them.
The city is definitely still charging taxes. It doesn’t work that way. Why don’t you confront the owner?
Oh I know I looked it up on atlas. They’re just not paying them.
They will eventually. City will put a lien on the house. The taxes don’t go away.
That’s a fun assumption. I’m not home all day I have cameras and it’s the house next to mine.
I’m happy you have a hobby.
The answer to your question is, of course, no, without a temp closure or temp no-parking permit, the latter of which is fairly easy to obtain for small periods of time.
I would be curious if they have a temp closure permit. Also, some contractors used to stage on the street and use it to park during the day. Harder to enforce this issue, but it's become less of a "problem" since materials are much more likely to be stolen.
The only way I think this is acceptable is if the construction workers are getting a huge delivery or demo which requires a large dump truck.
They don’t go after everything. Two houses near me have been delinquent on taxes for over 20 years. 🤷🏻♀️
Maybe he’s the one who’s holding spots. 🫠😂
They can’t sell the property without paying the taxes. The city isn’t in the business of making people homeless but the taxes don’t just disappear.
Lmaoo gotta be ! Cause sir 😭
They get settled at closing. That’s not the same as paying your taxes like a normal person. 😐
Sounds like you belong in a HOA. Your neighbor not paying their taxes is between them and the city. The city will eventually get its money and it’s none of your business. It doesn’t effect you. Now, give me another downvote.
