    UWS Street Parking Rules<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    For starters, the entire city is a designated tow-away zone. That means that if you are found in violation of any parking rules, you could be towed. NYC is so serious about towing that the NYPD even has its own fleet of tow trucks. Here\u2019s how to avoid being towed right off the bat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Make sure your vehicle registration and inspection stickers are up\u00a0to date, if applicable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Never, ever double park your vehicle. If there\u2019s already a car parked beside the curb, do not park beside it. Ever.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Do not park within 15 feet of either side of a fire hydrant. Don\u2019t rely on those nifty painted curbs, either. They lie.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. After you park, check the SpotAngels app to check the street parking rules and be reminded when you need to move your car<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
