iacisrmma: Many NYC driveways are illegal driveways and it is completely legal for anyone to block it.

Thank you in advance.April 18, 2018 2:23 pm at 2:23 pm #1508336iacisrmmaParticipantslonimer: Maybe in your neighborhood your statement is accurate; most, if not all, of the driveways in my neighborhood are legal.

I had one neighbor who had a driveway for many years until one day the city fined him for it and forced him to repave the curb cut. Another new neighbor recently bought a fully attached brownstone that never had a driveway, renovated the house and built a garage into the front of the home and made a curb cut. I seriously doubt it is legal.

I know that all the homes on my block have the driveways and easements stated in their deeds. Unless you have clear proof that the driveway is illegal, I would advise not to park in front of it.
