Parking Rules: Fair Lawn vs Ridgewood

Can my Airbnb guests park on the street overnight in Fair Lawn?

No. Fair Lawn bans on-street parking from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. on most streets. Guests should use the driveway or designated off-street spaces.

Is front-yard parking allowed for extra guest cars?

Parking on lawns or in front yards outside an approved driveway is prohibited. Property owners can be fined if guest vehicles park on grass.

Can my Airbnb guest park overnight on a Ridgewood street?

No. Code §265-36 bans parking on any public street or public lot anywhere in the Village between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Overnight Parking Permits are restricted by Article IV of Chapter 265 to Central Business District residents without landlord-provided parking, and the police-discretion waiver also contemplates residents — neither is available to short-term guests. Even if a guest could park legally, hosting the underlying compensated rental of 30 days or less is itself prohibited under §117 Art. IX.

Are there exceptions for one-night guests staying with a Ridgewood resident?

A resident host can request a discretionary overnight parking waiver from the Chief of Police for up to five nights at a time, with longer requests individually reviewed; the Village publishes a request form on ridgewoodnj.net. This is intended for occasional houseguests of residents, not paid transient lodgers — and a stay of 30 days or less for compensation would still violate §117 Art. IX regardless of where the guest's car is parked.
