Ricechex,
You’re thinking too much like a straight shooter. While there might not be a legal path for you to pursue, there are plenty of things you can do if you’re willing to sneak up in the middle of the night or when no one is looking….
Starting with the mildest…Go find yourself some nice big/tall orange cones from a hardware store…Get 6 to 7 of them… In the middle of the night or when no one is looking just, put those cones in front of your house, making sure you don’t leave enough space in between cones to let a car park there. You’d be surprised just the mere presence of cones, most people don’t bother thinking if it’s legit construction cones or not.
As an added bonus, go find a large wooden signpost and/or construction crate at home depot, and just place it on the road along with your cones, to make it look like it’s a construction.
Worked for me for about 6 months when I worked in SF and couldn’t find parking. Get to work, remove cone and stuff in trunk. Leave work, take the cone out and leave it in the parking spot.
If that doesn’t work…Get to know the california vehicle code very well. Call a ticket cop and have him ticketed for every infraction.
Parked more than 12″ from the curb, ask him to get ticketed. Parked with the wheels turned the wrong way, call the ticket cop. etc.etc.etc.
If that doesn’t work, let us know in 1 week and I’ve got increasingly harsher solutions.

What is the complaint here exactly?
It sounds like a dude parked a legal vehicle on a city street.
I mean does the OP own the road (like a private road) or something?
It doesn’t sound like its any of your business.
I could be wrong.
Tell me if I am.
