Alternate side parking (ASP) is the NYC parking rule that forces the clearing of parked cars to accommodate the street cleaning schedule. It happens once or twice a week in many areas of Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn. If you park during alternate side parking hours, you are likely to get a street cleaning ticket.

There are signs on the side of the street to inform residents of the alternate side parking hours. These may differ radically from one block to another. To make it easy for you to find the NYC alternate side parking calendar, you can use this map and tap on any spot to view the hours of enforcement.

No, you can’t legally park until the end time of any parking rule. Street sweepers will occasionally go around the block twice. It is common in the fall when leaves are likely to clog the brushes. You would still be at risk of getting a street cleaning NYC ticket.

A street cleaning NYC ticket costs $65 if you live in Manhattan on 96th Street or below and $45 in all other areas including Brooklyn, The Bronx and Queens.

Alternate side parking is suspended during the legal and religious holidays below and during bad weather (in particular snowstorms) to facilitate the work of city services and to keep cars off the streets during chaos.
