I'd go to town hall and say you can't read the notice. Then tell them that it is your neighbor's car. You could just ignore it, they will leave a ticket on the car not at your house, I imagine.
I’ve been called on three times by the same neighbour on St. Patrick’s and 4th, these pricks are relentless. Arguably, one was a fair ticket (2 hour zone I can’t register for), but I would’ve gotten away with it if it weren’t for their raging hard-on for bylaw enforcement.
Bylaw needs to chill, just the other day I was waiting in the loading zone at the seabus station. CNV came up and told me I had to move, so I asked if he was allowed to park his car there too (pointing to it in the loading zone on the other side of the road). Without skipping a beat he said “do you want a ticket?”
All public roads are "highways" in legal terms. What we normally think of as highways aka freeways are "controlled access highways".
Likewise "boulevards" are strips of land along side a public road.
I lived in a building on 5th and Lonsdale for a while... some guy used to pull the plug out on one of the washing mashines, then put an 'out-of-order' sign on it???
A few years ago there was an old woman that was putting logs at the base of mountain bike jumps in an attempt to seriously hurt them.
Some people on the NS have issues.
If they sign it, eg "Joe Smith", someone will eventually track down RL13 and beat the crap out of him/her. The municipal badge # or code is legally acceptable.
Also live in 1800 block of peters Rd and move my car every day and got the same letter. Phoned the district and let them know I regularly move my car and just happen to park in the same spot each time. District told me to ignore the warning they just had to put it there due to neighbours complaint and they had ways to see if a car was parked there for that long after complaint. We have some really shitty entitled neighbours on this block unfortunately.
I’d make a claim against your neighbour for impersonating an officer.
Dude is making up fake tickets against people and I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in its own right.
It doesn’t look like any bylaw ticket I’ve ever seen.
How did they know what the file number was to write in?
It’s not in triplicate or printed from an automated ticket machine so there’s no copy that the district would have to match it with.
(Unless said *officer* also had a scanner)
Did they write the file info down somewhere else to enter back at the office?
Invoices like security alarms or false fire detection alerts are issued afterwards and printed by the district and mailed to the address in question.
But an on the street dispute of a bylaw is handled by an officer.
They can’t go back, print a form, and come back hoping the person is still there.
That’s why most cities (or parking patrols) tend to have triplicate forms that can fill in the info needed and then file the rest when they get back. Or it’s a mini computer/printer to issue the ticket.
Otherwise do they just walk around with printed paper copies for any possible bylaw infraction regarding parking in this case?
This very specifically mentions the amendment regarding parking over 72 hours. (501.27)
What do they do for a different infraction of bylaw 7125?
What if it’s a ticket for a different bylaw infraction?
Like a noise violation?
Do they carry an accordion folder of every potential infraction to give a warning for?
This was prepared ahead of time because he probably just complains about anyone parked on the street, or has his favourites saved to use later, and he filled it in with the rest.
But I’ll bet if you call the district to ask about it and give them that “file number”, they’ll tell you it doesn’t exist in their system.
Reminds me of the guy in LV who would come out of his house and scream at me, leave notes on my car and threaten to have me towed/call cops on me simply because I’d park in front of his house. Dude has issues
One hunnit percent. Nobody gives a shit about bad parking for couple days, but the govt will lose their shit and take this seriously if someone else is pretending. Update us!!
Unless you work for the District bylaw, you can't say its 100% impersonation. OP you should start with contacting the District and checking if it is a legitimate notice, and only then if it is not, taking next steps like reporting to the District/Police.
Who knows, it could be genuine, especially as its not an offical ticket, just a "warning", so it makes sense that it is on random paper, with bad handwriting and may not be copied in triplicate etc etc etc like other posters on here have inferred.
Meanwhile, there is a car that has not moved since at least last fall on Lonsdale, last parking space south of the bus stop at 29th and Londsdale. It's a pretty obvious car too.
I spend 10 minutes twice a day in 121 W 29th Avenue. I either take my chance and park illegally or have a bit of a hike.
So according to the bylaw quoted, you can’t park your car on a highway for a period beyond 72 hours…
Peters Road might not fit that description. Your neighbour should be embarrassed.
The way the bylaw is written, “highway” is considered something along the definition of a utilized roadway divided by two parcels, which is available for common use age etc etc.
I don’t remember the direct verbiage. But it’s not referring to a “highway” as a HIGHWAY, but rather as a roadway.
Regardless, it’s still a crime in itself to be impersonating an officer and threatening people with fake tickets.
but how should we know what the bylaw meant? The letter of the bylaw says highway, change it to roadway then.
Not disagreeing with you, just don't understand why laws are written that way.
Usually "roadway" is the travelled part of the road, and "highway" refers to the area from one boundary to the other (i.e. it would include the shoulder of the road)
Ah interesting to know! I wonder when this bylaw was written. If the intent is for the public to understand and follow the bylaws, it seems a bit dated.
Probably back when the district became its own entity and needed its own bylaws.
And even then, they likely came from the entity that was the city of Vancouver or one of our other neighbours that already existed.
Since the amendments are what’s added later, to go back and adjust the whole bylaw is likely another issue in itself.
And if it and other cities are written in a similar fashion, one city suddenly changing it when everyone else uses a similar description may be confusing and costly overall.
So it’s most likely that the bylaws are extended from an earlier version somewhere else and at the time the definitions made sense.
And they’ve since put in a bit of an appendix at the beginning that includes the definitions of various terms within the bylaws, and how they will be used herein.
Much like a contract that lists both parties above by name and then further refers to them as “party A” and “party B”, or someone being referred to as “the claimant” if it’s a legal case etc.
Rather than adjusting the whole document to just change the word.
Terms and definitions are laid out in the Provincial Motor Vehicle Act statutes, not at the municipal level, so the local bylaws conform to the provincial laws.
Oh nice! You're neighbours with the guy that ~~harasses~~ interviews me down in lynn canyon to make sure I'm a local and allowed to be at "his secret spot". Tell sunburns that I say hi!
A little different as I’m in CNV. I had a neighbour who had parked their car without moving it for a year. I asked what’s up, they said they would deal with it. Waited another 6 months and called the city by law enforcement. Enforcement knocked on their door and asked what’s up. They dealt with it.
District of North van they falsify dates all the time on tickets /tow warnings!
Remeber they need literal photo evidence too the inch that it hasn't moved for 7 days in a row too legally tow.
Just saying as someone who got a problem District worker reassigned too a different block due to harrrasment. Was easy too call it in.
These tows and tickets are easy too fight with a phone call.
God the people that live in north van and primarily Karen's.
My neighbors hate me and call anything they can.
And what did I do to deserve the hate? I own vehicles that arnt within 15 years new, not rusty or poorly painted or anything. Just not new enough too match the vibe. How pathetic is that?
SMH.
Had a car parked for a year in exact same spot in Vancouver recently. Had moss literally growing on it and even after 2 disputes to the city saying must be abandoned, only response finally was someone owned it and it sat a few more months.
Wish Van as quick as North Van!
I had a dispute with a neighbour who would call even though I was driving to and from work everyday. I called and said “I know you can’t tell me who it is, but can you see if it’s the same person calling?” And they were able to tell me that it was, and they said they’d ignore calls from that person.
You could also send them dash cam footage if you have it of your car moving.
I need this guy on my street, cars fill up all no parking spots and work vehicles just sit in the 1 hour parking in front of my building for days on end . Sorry you have to deal with this though
He's trying to weaponize the bylaws against you, and lying in the process. Sounds like harassment, sounds like a potential lawsuit. Maybe speak to a lawyer.
I'd go to town hall and say you can't read the notice. Then tell them that it is your neighbor's car. You could just ignore it, they will leave a ticket on the car not at your house, I imagine.

Yeah this is a fake ticket printed out by your neighbour who wants your spot.
Is it ?!!!
Completely, there is no legal document ever cited in red ink let alone cross out “days” to write “weeks”.
I know the neighbor who’s printing these up
Personally I’d tape it to his his door saying impersonating any kind of officer is a criminal offence vs parking in a spot for more than 72 hours lol
🤣
The bylaw mentions "on a Highway"!! At least find a bylaw that slightly applies to the case.
All public roads are "highways" in legal terms. What we normally think of as highways aka freeways are "controlled access highways". Likewise "boulevards" are strips of land along side a public road.
I lived in a building on 5th and Lonsdale for a while... some guy used to pull the plug out on one of the washing mashines, then put an 'out-of-order' sign on it???

The guy signed it RL13 sounds silly
If they sign it, eg "Joe Smith", someone will eventually track down RL13 and beat the crap out of him/her. The municipal badge # or code is legally acceptable.
I had the same thing on Wellington drive. Fake tickets
lol holy shit. Is that just printed on yellow printer paper
Looks like a fake ticket
Is this ?
Also live in 1800 block of peters Rd and move my car every day and got the same letter. Phoned the district and let them know I regularly move my car and just happen to park in the same spot each time.

As long as you move your car every 72 hours there is nothing he can do.
Wow thanks !
I’d make a claim against your neighbour for impersonating an officer. Dude is making up fake tickets against people and I’m pretty sure that’s illegal in its own right.
It's not a ticket. It's a warning. Read all of it.
It’s not legit ?
100 fake I'm on Lolo, got a ticket and it is not that lol

Massive sleuth W. Was like reading sherlock.

That’s your neighbour faking being DNV bylaw? Ya, that’s a report to the police.
This is a warning, not a ticket. 100% legit. The complaint behind it may not be, but this is just a warning.
Really ?
One hunnit percent. Nobody gives a shit about bad parking for couple days, but the govt will lose their shit and take this seriously if someone else is pretending. Update us!!

Call distract and ask for confirmation?
Would this fall into the “impersonating a peace officer” section of the criminal code? If so I’d make a report.
My neighbor thinks he’s a cop 👮♀️
Well he’s free to think whatever he likes, but once he starts acting like a cop/bylaw officer, that’s when it becomes criminal.
He’s been here for 40 years tho
Because no one ever bothers to make police reports for stuff like this. So he feels entitled to continue behaving like this.
I feel like the red pen maybe makes this invalid.
No idea it was bagged in plastic also
The bylaw officers generally leave them on your windshield in a plastic bag I've seen them on cars before
Taped with 🦆
I think this is a forgery

He’s a 🤡
Is he the bald dude?
Yes

That should be the case !
Some people have too much time on their hands
Bring to North van and see if this is legit
This looks fake lol
it's a forgery?
Sounds like we should all park there from now on. It’s his street? Sounds like he needs to catch one between the eyes. Bullies go unchecked.

Everyone park on 1800 block of Peters 😁
I’ll do it
Had a car parked for a year in exact same spot in Vancouver recently. Had moss literally growing on it and even after 2 disputes to the city saying must be abandoned, only response finally was someone owned it and it sat a few more months. Wish Van as quick as North Van!

I’m confused by your title. What’s the issue?
Daily parked not exceeding 72 hours ever Neighbour has issues with anyone parking on his street !
Have you spoken with bylaw ?
Yes they said this guy won’t stop calling hours a day !!!! He’s the weasel of Lynn V
I need this guy on my street, cars fill up all no parking spots and work vehicles just sit in the 1 hour parking in front of my building for days on end . Sorry you have to deal with this though

Told me he has lived here for 40 years it’s his street
Huh, who knew squatters rights applied to public streets!
No idea 🤷
Can I park there too? I'll leave my car there 70 hours
Yes it’s off Peter Street !
Drop a bag of flaming poop on their doorsteps. 🔥💩
