Huntington, NY Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Huntington Code § 198-76(A), amended by Local Law No. 15-2005, prohibits keeping, depositing, or maintaining any commercial vehicle or construction equipment on residential property without municipal authorization or a Zoning Board of Appeals grant. The section defines that equipment broadly: limousines, road rollers, power shovels, road-building machines, sweepers, sand spreaders, well drillers, box trucks, dump trucks, backhoes, skid steers, bulldozers, cranes, earth movers, fork lifts, scaffolding, tractors, tractor-trailer combinations (or their individual parts), harvesting machines, moving vans, refuse trucks, tank trucks, and any other six-or-more-wheel vehicle with a truck chassis and body, plus house coaches as defined under the state Vehicle and Traffic Law.

Subsection D separately restricts any vehicle using six or more wheels to operate, wherever situated on residentially-zoned property, unless municipal authorization or a Zoning Board grant is obtained, or the Director of Public Safety, or a designee, finds the vehicle is used for a non-commercial purpose. Enforcement runs through the Building Inspector and the Bureau of Administrative Adjudication under § 198-125, which covers this article. There is no size or weight exemption for delivery trucks, tow trucks, or landscaping trailers once they meet the six-wheel or listed-equipment description, so a contractor who parks a dump truck in a driveway overnight without prior authorization is already in violation.

Homeowners running a home-based construction or landscaping business must apply to the Zoning Board of Appeals for relief rather than assume incidental commercial use is permitted.
