Brooklyn RV parking at a glance
| Location or use | What to check |
|---|---|
| Storage | Only if indoor storage impossible: one item, paved side/rear yard, five-foot side and ten-foot rear. |
| Public parking or loading | Street parking not determined; outdoor storage capped at 72 consecutive/144 monthly hours. |
| Occupancy | Sleeping prohibited; task and transportation exceptions are narrow. |
Indoor storage first, then one outdoor item
Section 1103.09(n) first requires a garage or structure if possible. Only when that is not possible may one RV, boat, trailer or similar item be stored outdoors in the side or rear yard on concrete or asphalt. The outdoor count is one combined item, not one item of every type. Brooklyn Heights has a separate code and is not covered.
Setbacks and both time caps
Outdoor storage requires at least five feet from the side lot line and ten feet from the rear lot line. It may last no more than 72 consecutive hours and no more than 144 cumulative hours in a calendar month. Both limits apply, so moving the RV after a short stay does not erase the monthly total. The checker includes the proposed storage period in each total.
Condition and occupancy
Covered vehicles and equipment must remain in good repair and, where applicable, have current-year plates and registration. Temporary or permanent human occupancy is prohibited except for loading, unloading, minor work or actual transportation. Those narrow activity exceptions are not sleeping permission. Public-street rules, hookups and enclosed storage approval are outside this guide.
Who to contact for your setup
Confirm the exact address and proposal with the local planning or police office. This limited administrative screening is not a permit or complete legal approval. City-hosted adopted planning code dated January 9, 2023, reviewed on actual current date. No street, hookups, enclosed-storage or discretionary approval.
Use the Brooklyn parking checker to organize the starting conditions. The checker cannot approve a parcel, a variance or an unverified exception.
