All vehicles, including those with valid decals or proper Resident/Visitor’s identification notes, must observe the red and white “No Parking” signs. Any vehicle parked in a “No Parking” area, curb plot, crosswalk, or any other improper place is subject to booting and/or towing. Station Square is a No Parking/No Tolerance Zone. Occasionally, temporary “No Parking” zone will be created on the property for, e.g. Tree Trimming, Stadium Concert, Road or Sidewalk Work, etc. Vehicles that ignore these temporary “No Parking” zones will be subject to booting and/or towing at the owner’s expense.

Anyone interfering with the administration of the Parking Control Program or those who disregard the rules of the Parking Control Program are subject to suspension and/or revocation of their parking privileges and of guest parking privileges.

The number of the Booting agent is: 718-575-1717.

What are the penalties for failure to display a parking decal or identification note?

Consequences may include booting or towing of the vehicles.

Follow instructions on the document placed on the windshield by the booting company. You must pay the fine before the boot will be removed. If you feel your car was unfairly booted, the process for appealing the decision is explained on the receipt provided by the booting contractor.
