Yonkers Code restricts RVs, trailers, and boats from being parked on residential streets and most residential driveways. Storage on front yards or in required setbacks is typically prohibited by zoning.
Yonkers Code Chapter 100 prohibits parking commercial vehicles and oversized recreational vehicles on residential streets overnight. Zoning provisions in Chapter 43 restrict where RVs, boats, and trailers can be stored on private lots — generally prohibited in front yards and required side/rear setbacks. As a dense urban city, Yonkers does not allow extended RV/boat storage on public streets.
Typical fines $50-$150 per day; repeated violations may trigger tow.
