Description: All open abandoned vehicle complaints made to 311 and all requests completed between January 1, 2011 and December 2018. A vehicle can be classified as abandoned if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

• Is on a public way in a state of disrepair and incapable of being driven in its present condition
• Has not been moved or used for more than seven consecutive days and is apparently deserted
• Has been left on the public way without state registration or a temporary state registration placard for two or more days
• Is a hazardous dilapidated vehicle left in full view of the general public, whether on public or private property

For some Open service requests, the vehicle has been towed but further action is required before the request may be closed. 311 sometimes receives duplicate abandoned vehicle complaints. Requests that have been labeled as Duplicates are in the same geographic area and have been entered into 311’s Customer Service Requests (CSR) system at around the same time as a previous request. Duplicate reports/requests are labeled as such in the Status field, as either "Open - Dup" or "Completed - Dup."
