Full Breakdown

Town Code § 146-8A, amended by Local Law No. ' The purpose section, § 146-1, ties this directly to snow removal: the Town Board found that vehicles left on Town streets during snowfall have 'hindered and obstructed the Commissioner of Public Works in snow removal operations' and create hazards for people using the streets, and the rule is adopted under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Article 41 (§§ 1660, 1660-a, 1662-a, 1663, 1664) and Article 42 (§ 1670). The ban applies regardless of whether snow is actually falling that night; it runs by calendar date and clock time for the whole winter season, not on a storm-by-storm basis.

1 (added by the same 2011 local law) to the Department of Public Safety, Police Department, Code Enforcement Officer, Building Inspector or Fire Marshal, or their designees, who are authorized to enforce all parking provisions and to further restrict standing or parking in specified areas. A vehicle found parked in violation may be impounded under §§ 146-4 through 146-6.

Violations & Fines

Under § 146-10, any vehicle found in violation of Chapter 146, including the November 1 to April 15 overnight ban, may be impounded pursuant to §§ 146-4, 146-5 and 146-6. Beyond impoundment, § 146-10B directs that specific parking offenses carry fines set by resolution of the Town Board from time to time, so the dollar penalty for a given offense is published in the Town's current fee schedule rather than fixed in the code text itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park on the street overnight in Greece, NY in winter?
No, not between November 1 and April 15. Town Code § 146-8A bans parking on all Town and county streets from midnight to 8:00 a.m. during that entire window, regardless of whether it is actually snowing that night.
Does the Greece winter parking ban apply even without snow?
Yes. The ban in § 146-8A runs by calendar date (Nov. 1 to Apr. 15) and clock time (midnight to 8 a.m.) every night in that period, not only during active snowfall or a declared snow emergency.
What happens if my car is towed under Greece's winter parking rule?
Section 146-10A allows any vehicle violating Chapter 146 to be impounded under §§ 146-4 through 146-6, and separate fines for the offense are set by Town Board resolution under § 146-10B.
