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………….
I know this doesn’t raise the level of discourse but Mr. 10:37-11:20-11:42-11:52 (and yes, that’s all one person) you are an unbelievable douchebag.
10:37 – go fuck yourself
I had a similar situation when I lived in Williamsburg. In addition to calling the buildings department, I also raised the issue at the precinct council meeting. A community affairs officer spoke with the homeowner and shortly thereafter the yellow paint on the curb was covered with black and the saw horse that used to sit in the street rode off into the sunset. Good luck OP.
meet the jetsons!!!
If each reader of this forum will call in all of the illegal curb cuts, front yard parking maybe we’ll see some action from the City. Yes, there are too many cars, but we must all abide by the law. This problem exists boroughwide, not just brownstone Brooklyn. It’s time for enforcement!
$10.00 gas will soon solve the problem – There will be a lot less cars on the street soon enough.
Parking Lottery
Now let’s keep our heads. There are all too many cars chasing all too few legal on-street parking spots today. It’s an unintended consequence of affluence. And we all know Brownstone Brooklyn was not planned with off-street parking. What little there was is going for condos.
A legal remedy short of first-come-first- served-park-anywhere-at-anytime-for-as-long
as-you-want is not practical. Anyone have an idea?
I wonder if DOB will waive the fine if the owner explains that he’s been in the hood since back in the day?
