Summary
On nine named commercial corridors, Mount Vernon bans all on-street parking between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. under City Code § 227-64.1, a rule the City Council enacted in 2016 over the Mayor's veto. It runs separate from the citywide 7 p.m.-to-6 a.m. commercial-vehicle curfew and the snow-emergency and cleaning-area rules elsewhere in the Code.
The provision of this section prohibits on-street parking from 2:00 a.m. until 7:00 a.m. on the following City's commercial area streets stated below: a) Gramatan Avenue and Lincoln Avenue South to Fourth Avenue and East Fourth Street. b) North Seventh Avenue and Roosevelt Square south to Wilson Place to East Second Street. c) South Third Avenue and East Second Street south to East Sidney Avenue. d) Stevens Avenue and Roosevelt Square east to Gramatan Avenue. e) Fiske Place from Gramatan Avenue to Third Avenue... i) East Sandford Boulevard and Garden Avenue west to South Eleventh Avenue.
Full Breakdown
on a defined list of commercial-area streets, including Gramatan Avenue and Lincoln Avenue south to Fourth Avenue and East Fourth Street; North Seventh Avenue and Roosevelt Square south to Wilson Place and East Second Street; South Third Avenue and East Second Street south to East Sidney Avenue; Stevens Avenue and Roosevelt Square east to Gramatan Avenue; Fiske Place from Gramatan Avenue to Third Avenue; South Sixth Avenue and East Second Street north to East First Street; East First Street and South Fulton Avenue west to South Fourteenth Avenue; East Third Street and South Fulton Avenue west to South Seventh Avenue; and East Sandford Boulevard and Garden Avenue west to South Eleventh Avenue.
The section sits in Chapter 227's Street Cleaning part, distinct from the general Traffic Code's commercial-vehicle curfew in § 256-11, and its operative text bans parking outright during those hours rather than restricting only commercial trucks, so any vehicle left on one of the listed blocks overnight is subject to ticketing.
Violations & Fines
§ 227-65 makes any violation of Chapter 227's Street Cleaning provisions, including § 227-64.1, punishable by whatever fine or penalty the City Judge of Mount Vernon fixes for that offense, within the limits the Code sets for traffic infractions. Enforcement is handled by the Department of Public Works together with the Department of Public Safety.
