Permit parking in Swissvale

Why is Swissvale not enforcing the Residential Parking on Woodstock Avenue? Residents were required to purchase parking permits to avoid receiving tickets when they park in front of their own homes. However, drivers going to the bus way are continuing to park on Woodstock without permits all day, and are not receiving any tickets. I was told that residents must call 911 and report the car and plates. Why is this? A Swissvale police officer told me that it's not their job to issue parking tickets, and that this is what I need to do to have a non-resident vehicle ticketed. I have called in the past, and rarely are tickets issued. There is a code enforcement officer that should be citing these vehicles, not residents!
