Commercial vehicles over 1 ton or with commercial markings cannot be parked overnight in residential districts per the Penn Hills Zoning Ordinance. One service vehicle per dwelling is typically permitted if it is the residents primary transport.
The Zoning Ordinance prohibits parking or storage of commercial vehicles, tractor-trailers, dump trucks, and box trucks exceeding 1 ton capacity on residential lots or residential streets overnight. Exceptions apply to vehicles actively loading or unloading and to a single service van or pickup used by the resident for their employment, provided it displays standard plates and is not a semi-tractor. Violations carry fines through the Code Enforcement Department.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
