@Krissu - Vehicles are required to be parked on an asphalt or concrete surface and in accordance with Hammond Municipal Code 160.03 Vehicles in Yard (G) " Vehicles shall not be parked in front or rear yards except for that area which has been designated by the City's Building and Zoning Codes as an approved Driveway."
So Vehicles are allowed to be parked behind a property owners fence as long as they are parked on an approved surface which was poured/installed by obtaining a valid building permit to do so.

Thank you for the information. So, vehicles can park in the alleys legally? I realize this isn’t the same thing going on in the pics, just asking though. Someone on my block parks in the alley, partially in the roadway, so just wondered

It depends on how they are parking, what type of surface they are parking on, how long the vehicle stays there etc. the ordinance regarding this situation is covered under 72.005 Method of Parking: "(D)No person shall park a vehicle within an alley in such a manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than 10 feet of space for vehicular travel, and no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle within an alley in such position as to block the driveway entrance to any abutting property." The City of Hammond Ordinances are all available here for the public to access https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/hammond/latest/hammond_in/0-0-0-1
