I’ve been meaning to ask about this. Given the prior post, now might be a good time. I recently purchased a house with a large enough front yard for parking. I have mixed feelings about converting the front of the house to parking, but the proximity of my place to Fulton street makes parking a huge hassle. Anyway, there just also happens to be an existing, hinged gate in the front… Does anyone know how I would go about converting the front into a legal driveway? My understanding is that it’s not that difficult if there’s an existing, legal (filed) driveway already on the block. But I don’t know which city agency to start with. thanks, Brownstoners.
