Parking in private driveways without owner consent is prohibited per Compton Municipal Code. Vehicles blocking driveways or means of vehicular access may be removed by police upon complaint. No vehicle shall obstruct any driveway or means of ingress/egress.
The Compton Municipal Code restricts front yard and unfenced side yard parking. No person shall store or park any motor vehicle, trailer, boat, or parts thereof in the front yard or unfenced street side yard setback area for more than 72 consecutive hours without a permit from the Traffic Committee. The zoning code (Chapter 30) requires that parking areas comply with property development standards including paved surfaces. The city's systematic code enforcement program patrols neighborhoods to identify parking violations including vehicles on unpaved surfaces, vehicles blocking sidewalks, and excess vehicles stored in driveways. About 45.7% of code enforcement cases are property maintenance issues including illegal vehicle storage.
Parking violations are infractions. Unpermitted front yard storage is a nuisance violation, a misdemeanor punishable by fine up to $1,000 or imprisonment up to six months.
