Appeal a denied residential parking spot for people with disabilities

If you applied for a reserved parking space in front of your home due to a mobility limitation or disability, and that request was denied, you can request a hearing to review the decision.

Who

You should file this appeal if you applied for reserved residential parking in your neighborhood through the Philadelphia Parking Authority (PPA) and were denied.

How to submit an appeal

To appeal, fill out the appeal form. You must submit it within 30 days of the date on your denial letter from the PPA.

You’ll need to attach:

  • A copy of your driver’s license.
  • A copy of your vehicle registration.
  • A copy of the denial letter.

You can mail, email, or fax completed applications and attachments to:

Office of Administrative Review
100 S. Broad St., Room 400
Philadelphia, PA 19110-1099

Email: admin.review@phila.gov

Fax: (215) 686-5228

You will receive an acknowledgement letter when your appeal is processed.

How to prepare for your appeal hearing

Before your hearing

Hearings are scheduled within 3–6 months of processing and acknowledgement of your petition. You’ll receive a scheduling notice about 30 days in advance of your hearing date.

You need to bring current, additional supportive medical information like imaging reports, test results, treatment plans, or doctor’s summaries to submit to the Appeals Panel on the day of your hearing. The panel will make a decision based on the information available at the time of the hearing.

To request an interpreter or other accommodations for a hearing, call (215) 686-5224 or email Kristen.N.Ferraro@phila.gov.
