It appears that you're dealing with people that don't care about a neighborhood war. They have no respect for you, you've spoken to them politely and they don't care, and they actively create nuisances for you.

Are all of their vehicles up to date on inspections/emissions? If not, call the po po - their cars will get hit with a tow notice.

If a household needs to own a fleet of vehicles, perhaps they should live somewhere that has adequate parking for their own needs instead of being a nuisance for the rest of their block.

Or perhaps if one needs to have a guaranteed place to park, perhaps they should live somewhere that has a private driveway? Or does that only go one way?

I’m not exactly sure what specifies a “camper truck” but why would one pay to park a vehicle on private property when they can park it on public property at their residence?

Bingo

Your best first step is to (covertly if you can) photograph the vehicles in question. The more evidence you can compile that they belong to residents of one dwelling the better (registrations, plate numbers, etc.) You might enlist Pittsburgh DMV or the City "Parking" department for this info.

Now go to your City Official that would handle the number of vehicles one household would be allowed to keep. There might not be a limit, but even if there isn't one, bringing this matter to official attention might help.

See where that gets you, and go from there...

There is no legal limit. Unless parked illegally or out of registration, there's nothing the city can do.

Sorry for the idiot. I know your pain. Also feel sorry for those spending $300k for a Lawrenceville abode then having to deal with people like this.

Don't feel sorry, there are plenty of areas in Pittsburgh where you'd spend half that and have a garage and driveway not to mention front and back yards. Lawrenceville reaps what it sows.
