Cheektowaga, NY Parking Rules: Abandoned Vehicles (2026)

' This sits inside the Property Maintenance article that § 70-30 says is meant to exceed the state Property Maintenance Code's baseline for every property in Town. The same section also limits where any parking can happen at all: § 70-31C confines off-street parking to access driveways and paved off-street parking areas, so a disabled vehicle cannot simply be moved onto a lawn or unpaved yard area to sidestep the storage ban. The rule reaches any open area of a residential or commercial premises, not just the driveway, and applies whether the vehicle sits on grass, gravel or pavement.

Enforcement runs through the Inspector under the same Chapter 70 administration provisions that cover every other property maintenance violation: the Inspector issues a written violation order under § 70-7 identifying the vehicle and the remedial action required, states when the property will be reinspected, and can act to remove the condition directly if it is not corrected by then.
