Reporting parking offenses in Finland (sopuli.xyz)

Our apartment block in Helsinki has a pelastustie that is regularly unusable because of people parking in front of it. Where can I report such parking offenses?

I tried googling, but it brings me only to the police. Is this the right place to report these? Because they are probably not counted as "crimes", or are they?

And can I just take pictures of the offending car for proof?

In Germany, there is a useful Webservice that helps with the involved bureaucracy. Does something like this exist for Finland?

To mention an edge case not directly related to the case @sibbo@sopuli.xyz here...

If in some other situation a car is parked on the rescue vehicles' driveway (pelastustie) on the yard of some house, not on public land, then if the house – basically its isännöitsijä – does not react quickly to your request to free the driveway, the house is in breach of pelastuslaki, point 8 of 106 §.
