Parking Rules: Ridgewood vs Teaneck

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.

Can guests park overnight on Teaneck streets?

Many Teaneck streets restrict overnight parking. Hosts should provide a driveway or off-street space and warn guests about street-cleaning and snow emergency rules.

What happens during snow emergencies?

Vehicles parked on declared snow emergency routes may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. Hosts should alert guests when emergencies are declared.
