If you receive a Provisional Cancellation Notice, it means a parking citation has been temporarily cancelled while the property manager verifies the parking authorization in the landlord’s official parking registry.

This situation most commonly occurs when a tenant has signed a parking agreement but the property manager has not yet updated the building’s master parking registry (sometimes called a Rentable Items Directory or Parking Registry).

Parking enforcement decisions are based strictly on the landlord’s registry that is in effect at the time of patrol.

Before a citation can be permanently cancelled, the landlord’s records must reflect the parking authorization.

Why Provisional Cancellations Occur

Many properties manage parking assignments internally through their property management office. When a parking agreement is signed, the property manager must update the landlord’s official registry so enforcement teams can see that the stall is authorized.

If the registry is not updated, enforcement patrols will see the stall as unassigned or unauthorized, which may result in a citation even if a tenant holds a valid agreement.

To allow time for this administrative correction, a provisional cancellation may be issued.

What You Must Do

If you receive a provisional cancellation notice, you must contact your property management office and ask them to confirm that:

• The parking stall is assigned to your unit

• Your vehicle’s license plate is recorded as authorized for that stall

• The stall is marked as occupied in the landlord’s parking registry

This update must be completed by the property manager.

Tenants cannot update the landlord registry themselves.

30-Day Verification Period

After a provisional cancellation notice is issued, the property manager has 30 days to update the landlord’s parking registry.

During this period, you should follow up with your property manager to ensure the records are corrected.

If the Registry Is Not Updated

If the landlord registry remains inconsistent after the 30-day verification period:

• The citation will automatically revert to active status

• The balance will become payable

• The notice may proceed through the operator’s normal collection process

This occurs automatically because enforcement decisions are based solely on the landlord’s registry in effect at the time of patrol.

Important Reminder

Providing a parking agreement alone does not permanently cancel a citation if the landlord’s official parking registry has not been updated.

The registry maintained by the property manager is the controlling record used for enforcement verification.

If you receive a provisional cancellation notice, please contact your property management office promptly to ensure the parking assignment and vehicle authorization are correctly recorded.
