You can call 311 to report the vehicles.

This is unfortunately not the Bylaw according to Bylaw officers. I had a truck in front of my house with Ontario plates that did not move for 3 weeks. I called it into Calgary Parking Authority (311 will do nothing but give you the number for the Parking Authority) who took the plate, told me the truck wasn't stolen and that they would only tow it away if it was inoperable or if it doesn't move in another 2 weeks, I could call back and try again. Someone could have just moved to the neighbourhood or be on vacation and it would be wrong to tow it.
When I mentioned the 72 hour bylaw I was told by 3 different people on the phone that it is NOT the bylaw and that it is up to the discretion of the person who takes the complaint and bylaw officer to decide if action will be taken. One went so far as to say the City needs to update the website because that bylaw hasn't been in effect for almost 2 years.
