NYCHA Parking

The New York City Housing Authority contracted LAZ Parking to oversee the permit issuance process and the enforcement of parking rules and regulations at all of NYCHA's parking facilities.

Please be aware that new rules and rates for NYCHA parking are in effect as of March 1, 2024. Highlights of the changes are below:

• Beginning with the May 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025 cycle, and for every year after, renewals of resident parking permits and applications for new parking permits will be denied if the household owes rent arrears or is not current on their payment plan.
• Beginning with the May 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025 cycle, the cost of resident parking permits will increase by $25 (an increase based on the 2023 market rates for parking).
• Beginning with the May 1, 2025 – April 30, 2026 cycle, resident parking permits will only be issued and will only be renewed for authorized members of NYCHA households.

NYCHA Parking Rules & Regulations

The following Parking Rules apply to residents and non-residents parking a vehicle in a New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) parking lot.

1. Parking Permit Required: No one may park a vehicle in a NYCHA parking lot unless NYCHA grants permission to park and issues a parking permit for that vehicle. Parking fees are designated on a separate fee schedule. NYCHA does not grant refunds of parking fees after the issuance of a Parking Permit. The parking permit is valid from May 1 of the current year to April 30 of the following year. Please note there is no proration of fees for applicants who apply later than the commencement of the current parking year, with the exception of waitlist applicants who are awarded a permit after November 1 of the current parking year.
2. Placement of Permit: The permit, in the form of a sticker, must be permanently affixed to the inside lower corner of the passenger side (right side) of the authorized vehicle's front windshield. For motorcycles, owners must affix the sticker to the fork on the operator's right side. The parking permit (sticker) is NOT transferable.
3. Display of Authorizations: Every vehicle must clearly display the current New York State vehicle registration, license plates, New York State Vehicle Inspection Sticker and NYCHA parking sticker at all times. Only authorized permit holders with a disability placard issued by New York City or New York State shall park in designated disability spaces. The disability placard must be displayed at all times.
4. Insurance Required: An amount of insurance prescribed by New York State Law must be maintained at all times.
5. A development may have non-reserved parking or reserved parking.
   1. Non-Reserved Parking: Valid parking permit holders may park in available spaces on a first-come, first-served basis at the development designated on the parking permit.
   2. Reserved Parking: Valid parking permit holders are authorized to park in their designated development, lot and space. If the parking spot is equipped with a chain or locking arm, the vehicle user is encouraged to lock the space upon exiting to prevent the entry of unauthorized vehicles.
   1. EXCEPTION: If the tenant of record has a payment plan in place covering the full amount of rent arrears and is up to date under the payment plan, or if the tenant of record renegotiates a payment plan covering a portion of the rent arrears owed to cover the full amount, the arrears will not be considered a basis to deny renewal or a new application for a parking permit.
   2. If an application is rejected due to rent arrears, the applicant may submit a new application for consideration, as long as the application window is still open, once the household pays the arrears in full, enters into a payment plan covering the full amount of arrears, or renegotiates an active payment plan for a portion of the arrears to cover the full arrears. The granting of a permit is subject to availability.
