What makes this easy
✓Street cleaningA text the night before every cleaning day on this block — the next is Thursday, September 17.
✓Permit zoneThis block needs a zone permit; we flag the rules so a guest doesn’t collect a $75 ticket.
✓Cameras5 within a short walk. The app warns you out loud before you reach one.
✓City sticker & platesA missed sticker is $200 and it’s a deadline, not a driving mistake. We buy them on time, every year.
✓The tickets you still getContested by mail — 59% of mailed contests are dismissed — and paid before the fine doubles.
✓What it costsThe average ticketed Chicago driver pays $319 a year in fines and late fees. Autopilot is $99/year.
