The new measure went into effect last Monday and in its first five days, the city issued 597 tickets, attached 89 wheel clamps, and towed 55 illegally parked vehicles.
"This type of parking is not happening in affluent areas," Adams said. "You are not going to go to affluent parts of the city and see these 18-wheelers parked out front and it goes without enforcement. This is a residential community they deserve the same level of quality of life that we give to other parts of the city."
The city says this is a response to complaints from the community about the illegally parked commercial vehicles. "This enforcement action is a direct result of community concerns and community complaints," resident Jeffrey Maddrey said. "I spend a lot of time in this neighborhood, and I've noticed personally how residential blocks have been inundated with these large vehicles which should not be parking overnight."
The mayor says this new initiative is a way to improve the quality of life for residents not only here in Queens, but also all over New York City.
