§ 3-17 Parking of Motor Vehicles.

RCNY § 3-17

(a)No person shall park at the Boat Basin Garage or the World's Fair Marina parking lot without a Parking Permit issued by the Department. The Department shall seek to accommodate year-round and seasonal Permittees first in providing parking at the facilities. At the Boat Basin, spaces will be assigned first to Permittees seeking year-round parking, followed by those seeking seasonal parking, then by Permittees who hold kayak permits. Non-Permittees shall be eligible for parking spaces on a month-to-month basis, subject to availability. If there are more Permittees than available spaces, the Department shall maintain a waiting list of the Permittees eligible for Parking Permits, which shall be available upon request. Parking Permits are issued to the person named on the permits and are valid only for the registered vehicle or vehicles identified on the permit. Parking Permits are not transferable. Any assignment or attempted assignment of a Garage Parking Permit shall result in the cancellation of such permit.

(b)No person shall remain overnight in the Garage or parking lot or in a vehicle parked in the Garage or parking lot. The Department may remove or cause to be removed any vehicle which is parked in the Garage or parking lot without a current Parking Permit or without payment of all required fees. The cost of towing and storage of the vehicle shall be charged to the Permittee or owner of the vehicle and shall be payable prior to release of the vehicle. Any vehicle which is unclaimed after thirty days shall be deemed to be an abandoned vehicle and shall be disposed of, pursuant to the procedures set in § 1224 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
