Check three things: permission to park overnight, the rule for your block, and whether a snow emergency changes it.
Overnight rules from 2 to 6 a.m.
Street parking generally requires a night permit or temporary permission from 2–6 a.m., Monday through Saturday. A permit does not override a sign or make every space available.

On most residential streets, park on the side with odd house numbers for an odd-numbered evening date, and even house numbers for an even-numbered evening date. If you arrive after midnight, use the previous date for that overnight period.
Some blocks have different rules. The map can help you identify exceptions; the city’s address lookups and signs are the next check.
Green exception streets generally allow parking on both sides for up to 48 hours with a valid night permit. Blue exception streets allow both sides for up to 24 hours outside the winter period. Red streets prohibit overnight parking from December 1 to March 1. A street can have more than one category, so check the selected block rather than relying on the color alone.

Night permits are not required on Sunday mornings or the mornings of and after the holidays listed by the city. Street restrictions and snow-emergency rules still matter. Check the city list before relying on a holiday exemption.
