Community Board 10 raises concerns over idle trucks
Big rigs parked overnight on residential streets
It’s illegal to park commercial vehicles, like trucks and trailers, on residential streets overnight, but that isn’t stopping drivers from doing it anyway, Community Board 10 leaders have charged.
Board 10 District Manager Josephine Beckmann is ringing alarm bells over the annoying habit of some truck drivers who park their big rigs on residential streets, a practice that eats up parking spaces that would otherwise be taken up by cars.
“This month saw an increase in complaints regarding storage of commercial vehicles during the overnight hours. All complaints were forwarded to the 68th Precinct,” Beckmann told board members at a meeting last week.
