Illegal Parking current
Description
REPORTED ORDINANCE AND LICENSING VIOLATIONS: Illegal parking; bus- and bicycle-lane obstruction; idling; excessive overnight noise; and suspected after-hours service. Additional concern: Inadequate sustained enforcement. Alex’s Pizza — 1252 Washington Street, Boston, MA November 1, 2026 — 3:32 a.m. EST, after the clock change (equivalent to 4:32 a.m. before clocks were turned back) At 3:32 a.m., I observed customers entering and exiting Alex’s Pizza, while others remained inside. Illegally parked vehicles also remained outside. Please investigate this continued activity for after-hours service and licensing violations. Police arrived around 3:07 a.m. and spent several minutes clearing several vehicles parked and idling in the bus and bicycle lanes. Picture attached. Loud music, vehicle noise, and police sirens woke me. Approximately 20 seconds—not minutes—after police left, several vehicles again parked in the lanes officers had just cleared. These recurring obstructions endanger cyclists, interfere with buses, and create traffic hazards. Overnight noise and idling repeatedly disrupt residents’ sleep and quality of life. Vehicles returning within seconds demonstrates that the current enforcement response is insufficient. Please forward this complaint to the Boston Licensing Board, Boston Police, Boston Transportation Department, MBTA, and appropriate noise and anti-idling enforcement authorities for coordinated investigation of these reported ordinance and licensing violations and sustained enforcement. Photographs are attached. Please provide a complaint number and written follow-up identifying corrective action. Please consider this written notice of these ongoing conditions and a formal request for corrective action. If these conditions continue without effective intervention, I will pursue available formal remedies.
