What makes this easy

✓
Street cleaning
A text the night before every cleaning day on this block — the next is Friday, September 11.
✓
Permit zone
This block needs a zone permit; we flag the rules so a guest doesn’t collect a $75 ticket.
✓
Cameras
2 within a short walk. The app warns you out loud before you reach one.
✓
City sticker & plates
A missed sticker is $200 and it’s a deadline, not a driving mistake. We buy them on time, every year.
✓
The tickets you still get
Contested by mail — 59% of mailed contests are dismissed — and paid before the fine doubles.
✓
What it costs
The average ticketed Chicago driver pays $319 a year in fines and late fees. Autopilot is $99/year.
