Recreational vehicles, boats, and trailers cannot be stored on streets. Residential zoning restricts storage in driveways and front yards — typically rear or side yards, screened from view.
White Plains Zoning Code (Chapter 6-4 and Zoning §5.3) prohibits long-term street storage of RVs, boats, campers, and utility trailers. In residential districts, such vehicles generally may only be stored behind the front building line, screened from neighboring properties, and cannot be occupied as living quarters. Temporary loading/unloading allowed up to 48 hours.
Parking tickets for street storage ($45+). Zoning violations: notice to abate; continuing fines per day of non-compliance.
