From the mailbag:
Dear Transit Sam,
There are three vehicles that have been parked in the same spot on my residential street for over two weeks. I’m not sure who the vehicles belong to because I’ve never seen anyone drive them. Is this legal? How long can a car be parked on a residential street? What can I do about it since the vehicles are taking up parking spaces?
Kia, New York
Dear Kia,
No, it’s not legal. You can’t park a car on any street in New York City, including a residential street, for more than seven consecutive days. If they’re still there after all that time, your best bet is to call 311 or report the cars to your local precinct.
