Call HPD non-emergency, (713) 884-3131, they will dispatch a unit. Blocking sidewalks is against ordinance, so they’ll ticket and that should discourage further violations.

You’re right, although that’s a really low priory for HPD. Parking Enforcement is the part of COH government that is supposed to take care of this as it’s their purpose in life. The 311 approach is supposed to initiate them to take action and has definitely worked in the past.
