Where these numbers come from. The City of San Diego's open parking-citation data for 2025 (data.sandiego.gov), matched by block address to the city's GeoSweep street-sweeping map, which also supplies each block's schedule and planning area. "Golden Hill" is the city's own community planning area. About 92% of sweeping tickets could be matched to a block; the rest are left out, so real totals are slightly higher. The $83.50 fine is the amount on sweeping tickets written in 2026. ParkGuard isn't affiliated with the City of San Diego. Updated 2026-09-27.
