RVs and oversized recreational vehicles are treated as commercial vehicles in NYC and are subject to strict parking rules. Overnight parking of commercial vehicles in residential areas is prohibited between 9 PM and 5 AM. RVs may not park in the same spot for more than 24 hours.
In NYC, RVs and camper vans are classified as commercial vehicles due to their size, subjecting them to commercial vehicle parking rules under 34 RCNY §4-08(k). Commercial vehicles are prohibited from parking in residential areas overnight between 9 PM and 5 AM. During the day, commercial vehicles may park on the street for up to 3 hours unless otherwise posted. RVs specifically face a 24-hour limit for parking on city streets. Brooklyn has experienced persistent problems with long-term RV parking, particularly in Red Hook, where the NYPD's 76th Precinct has issued hundreds of parking violations. New legislation has been proposed to further restrict RV street parking. RVs are prohibited on all NYC parkways. Driveway parking of an RV is subject to zoning restrictions and may require the vehicle to be screened from street view.
Overnight commercial vehicle parking in residential area: $115 ticket. Exceeding 3-hour commercial vehicle limit: $115. Expired registration: subject to towing. Long-term parking: 72-hour rule applies.
