Airborneguy!! I was flying over the ocean and watching in-flight "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", and I thought of you! You MUST see the movie, you'll love it (particularly the self-defense scene with a flame-thrower!). Doesn't have anything to do with parking in NYC or this thread, but I saw you posting, so had to tell you about the movie.

The drivers are the taxpayers. Everyone has the same rights to that parking on a first come first serve basis, yourself included. They are proposing to take that right away from you

The question I have is whether this will mean tickets for people who block the legal driveways in front of private homes.

Leftists don’t want you to have rights. They want you to have government approved permissions, with all else banned.

I agree. Funny thing, though, those "dimbulbs" don't seem to understand that THEY, too, will be subject to the draconian practices that they're pushing for. Talk about irony.....

Would definitely exchange free parking for free mass transit.

That's already a ticketable offense. The only exception is for the owner of the house/building associated with the driveway.


To report a blocked driveway online go to - - https://portal.311.nyc.gov/article/?kanumber=KA-01062

The actual law states that any resident who's vehicle registration matches the property may legally park in front of the curb cut, but that ONLY applies to properties with a MAXIMUM of 2 households / apartments. This law gets broken all the time with people in 3 or 4 family homes who park in front of the house/building.

In practice NYPD traffic cops are lazy and don't bother looking up the registration address and matching to an X-dwelling property. They only ticket curb cut violations upon request. So if you have an annoying neighbor, you can 'request' them to get a ticket by calling 311
