City of Rochester prohibits on-street parking 2 AM to 6 AM year-round under Municipal Code §111-5 (alternate side not in effect; blanket overnight ban). Residents can request overnight exemption permits. Towns vary.
Rochester Municipal Code §111-5 prohibits parking on city streets between 2 AM and 6 AM every day unless a permit is displayed. The overnight ban aids street sweeping, snow removal (Rochester averages 99 inches annually), and emergency vehicle access. Residents may apply for overnight parking permits (free, valid 7 consecutive nights per month maximum) via the City Parking app or website, or purchase an annual residential permit for eligible streets. Town of Brighton §215-21 has similar 2 AM–6 AM restriction. Pittsford, Irondequoit, and Greece use seasonal bans (November 15 – April 1, 2 AM–7 AM) for snow operations. Towing enforced after 72 hours.
Rochester overnight ticket: $25 standard, $50 downtown zones. Snow emergency violation: $75 plus tow. Tow fees: $150 plus $20/day storage. Habitual offenders may lose registration (NY DMV scofflaw program).
