Staten Island has no STR-specific parking ordinance, but NYC Zoning Resolution §25-621 requires off-street parking for most 1-2 family homes in R1-R3 districts. Street parking follows NYC Alternate Side Parking (ASP). Richmond County is NYC's most car-dependent borough.
Richmond County does not impose STR-specific parking mandates, but Staten Island is NYC's most car-dependent borough and parking expectations differ sharply from Manhattan. Under NYC Zoning Resolution (ZR) §25-621, new 1- and 2-family homes in R1, R2, R3-1, R3-2, R3A, R3X, and R4 districts must provide one off-street parking space per dwelling unit, with R1-R2 (e.g., Todt Hill, Emerson Hill) requiring parking within the lot. Street parking across SI is regulated by NYC DOT's Alternate Side Parking (ASP) rules — most residential streets require moving vehicles 1-2 times per week for street cleaning. There is no NYC residential parking permit program (unlike Boston or DC). STR guests arriving by car typically use the host's driveway (common in Tottenville, Annadale, Eltingville) or street parking. In denser North Shore neighborhoods (St. George, Stapleton, Port Richmond) parking competition is significant. Guests should be warned about ASP and hydrant rules — NYPD issues parking tickets aggressively.
Street cleaning violation: $65 (Manhattan is $65 too, but SI has more enforcement tolerance). Hydrant: $115. Double parking: $115. Blocking driveway: $115. No STR-specific parking penalty in NYC Code. Guests with out-of-state plates frequently cited.
