Garfield City Hall

The amount and detail of paper work needed to obtain a residential parking permit is unreasonable. You would think that you were applying for a government job or at the pickiest DMV. I had the extreme displeasure of having Corine look over our permit application. She was unnecessarily particular, not helpful and unsympathetic. We literally provided: -dwelling certificate - proof of address change from dmv -Verizon email confirming new address - license ID - up to date car registration - car insurance with new address on it even with ALL that, she was harping on the fact that our insurance card said “policy holder address” instead of “garaging address”. Mind you, we were paying $5 per night for TWO cars! It took us 3 weeks to finally be able to provide everything that Garfield requested. I understand there’s a reason they require more specific records but this is insane. We had to call in several times where we spoke with another lady that was so much nicer and helpful and approved our application because Corine was being so up tight and refused to. SOLUTION: Once you start the application and provide a dwelling certificate , they should suspend your overnight payments for a month. Allowing you to get all the other million documents that they require. We just moved here, my utility and bank mail hasn’t arrived yet and most people don’t for several weeks. Insane! And the tickets are $50 each! I lived here 3 years ago and I just had to provide an updated license with my new address and called it a day. It’s crazy now.

Can’t get anybody on the phone that you need to talk to. They’re all prompts and then when you get to the prompt nobody answers.
