NEED HELP:: parking unregistered car in mt sinai suffolk longisland (home, zoning)

[nyckid221]

dont have room to park my two cars in my garage. anyhow my 2 cars are unregistered and are both in mint shape and i just received a summons to move the cars from my driveway.

anyhow im kinda confused on what to do? after searching on here some people say that i can have two unregistered cars but they must be covered and one in the backyard behind the gate

and some others say you can only have 1 unregistered car and must be behind a gate/backyard


fyi: i have a long wide driveway that leads up to my backyard that has a gate and tall bushes.

thanks for anyone that can help me out. or even a link to the laws out here

Pretty simple. If you don't have plates on it, it better not be in the street or they'll probably tow it away. If it is in a driveway, you might be okay for a while especially if you are in a quiet area away from the main roads but it is still playing russian roulette.

Look up the code/law/ordinance cited on the summons. THAT will be your first point of GOOD info.
