“The majority of services for residents remain available online, including purchasing Temporary No Parking signs, parking permits, and other services provided by third-party vendors,” the city said in a Nixle alert.

“The Hoboken Parking Utility service window will be open regular hours starting on Monday, Dec. 2, and will be accepting cash or check payments. All parking regulations and enforcement, including street sweeping, are in effect as of Monday.”

Since email are Wi-Fi are still not fully operational, residents are urged to call City Hall, 201-420-2000, with the extensions for each department available in the Nixle alert and on the city website.

“Updates on City services and the ongoing investigation will be provided as new information becomes available,” Sunday’s alert concluded.

City Hall closed Wednesday morning and suspended online services in light of the cybersecurity breach, as HCV first reported, with specifics of the attack still not publicly available.
