Off Street Parking
I have a question regarding in off street parking The houses concerned are 289 and 293 16th St, in Park Slope. They both have the same thing going on. I’ll post the second picture on the next thread (maybe Mr B can squeeze them both in without distorting the scale) From the photo you can…
I have a question regarding in off street parking
The houses concerned are 289 and 293 16th St, in Park Slope. They both have the same thing going on. I’ll post the second picture on the next thread (maybe Mr B can squeeze them both in without distorting the scale)
From the photo you can see that the curb has been cut way. I know there is some sort of Grand Fathering with this feature
The actual part of the curb which is street level (were a car could pull into the house) is probably 3 ft wide. The part that is painted is probably 5 ft wide.
They are obviously serous about not parking due to the professional “No Parking” sign that’s only recognizable if you’re walking on the sidewalk
These are my questions
Is this legal?
If it is, then how can a 3 ft wide “driveway” be legal
If the 3 ft wide “driveway” is legal, is the 2 ft either side legal.
How do I find out if any of this is legal
If this is legal, who to I contact as to the ridiculousness of it all
They are three houses down from each other. That coupled with the fact that there is a fire hydrant involved, they “reserve” a bunch of space.
What to do………….
1:47: The best solution to difficult parking is to not have a car. I do it; it works great. Give it a try!
4:14, that would be a problem for all you illegal immigrants coming in and buying our brownstones (kidding, people. relax).
4:11 I see what you mean about Webster Place, but I doubt it’s for pedestrian crossing. First, look at the curb cut it’s too big. Second, it’s not done properly like the city would do it. It’s obviously a cheapo job. Third, if it’s for pedestrians how come there is no light, no stop sign, no paint nothing. I doubt it’s for pedestrians.
4:14 Boston has resident parking and I think it’s a good idea to try in Park Slope but not easy to institute.
When I lived in London, our block was permit parking only. You had to be a home owner in that particular area to hold a permit. Vehicles not displaying permits would get towed. Would resident permit parking work here?
$2500 FINE I SEE THAT THE PROPERTIES DO NOT HAVE ANY HISTORY OF PERMITTED WORK.
You fools! All of you. Guess what, the only one who came close to the vioce of reason was gowanasaurus 10:07. If you map the address, you can see that Webster Pl terminates here at 16th st. It is obvious that these are pedestrian ramps for crossing the street to Webster. Gee, that might explain why it’s THREE FEET WIDE. Duh! And MAYBE, just maybe, the thoughtful resident at this address felt sorry for all the cars getting tickets and tried to help by painting a warning on the sidewalk. Fools on both sides of this class battle!
There are several curb cuts on 16th street that correspond to where Webster (and another street whose name I forget) cross. Webster is a one block street that ends at 16th. They are not curb cuts for an illegal driveway but for crosswalks. If this is a photo of that site,
you should just chill.
off street parking would be awesome. Everyone on the block should curb cut.
What should be illegal is calling this Park Slope
