Parking Around Tompkins Houses

Street cleaning and no-parking times for every block around the development on Park, Myrtle, Tompkins and Throop Avenues, so you know when to move your car.

 

Street Cleaning

Alternate side parking. No parking on that side during the posted time so the sweeper can pass.

Metered Parking

No meters are posted on the blocks right around Tompkins Houses. If you park at a meter elsewhere, pay at the meter or with the ParkNYC app.

No Parking

Bus stops, hydrants, fire zones and “No Standing Anytime” zones. You can be ticketed or towed any time.

Special Rules

School days by P.S. 59, Dept. of Education and Fire Dept. vehicle zones, and back-in angle parking. Read the sign.
