Fulton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 475 § 475-60.7
Parking on lawns
Operative Text
If a rental property is without sufficient off-street parking between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. from November 1 through April 1 of each year, the property owner must apply for a temporary parking permit at a cost of $25 per property on an annual basis. The property owner must agree to all lawn repairs, to include raking, topsoil and seeding the area where the vehicles were parked during this time period. All lawn repairs must be completed no later than May 1 of each year.
Section 475-60.7 of Fulton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 475 addresses situations where a rental property lacks adequate off-street parking during overnight winter hours (1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m., November 1 through April 1). Under this rule, a temporary parking permit must be obtained at an annual cost of $25 per property, and any lawn areas used for parking during that period must be restored — through raking, topsoil application, and seeding — no later than May 1 each year. The provision places both the permitting obligation and the lawn-repair responsibility on the property owner.
