Storage of vehicles
Operative Text
A. The owner, occupant or operator of any property located within the Village of Saugerties shall not park, or permit or allow the exterior parking or storage of, any vehicle within the front, side or rear yard of such property, unless such vehicle is parked upon a driveway or other paved or dust-free surface provided for such purposes. The failure of any owner, occupant or operator to comply with the provision of this section shall be deemed an offense. B. It is the intent of this chapter that a "vehicle," as used herein, shall include automobiles, buses, trucks, mobile homes, motorcycles, motor bicycles, minibicycles, snowmobiles, boats, or any other contraption originally intended for travel. C. A recreational vehicle may be stored on the rear yard of a lot, provided it is stored and maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
Saugerties Village, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 142 § 142-11 establishes that vehicles — a broad category that includes automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, mobile homes, and similar conveyances — may not be parked or stored in the front, side, or rear yard of a property unless they are on a driveway or another paved or dust-free surface. Parking or storing a vehicle on unpaved yard areas is treated as a code offense. One exception applies: recreational vehicles may be kept in a rear yard as long as they are stored and maintained in a neat and orderly manner.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating in Saugerties Village should be aware that § 142-11 holds owners, occupants, and operators alike responsible for vehicle storage compliance on their properties. Compliant operators generally ensure that any vehicle parking in front, side, or rear yards occurs only on a driveway or other paved or dust-free surface, and that any recreational vehicle stored in a rear yard is kept in a neat and orderly condition. Reviewing tenant leases to address vehicle storage expectations can help operators maintain compliance with this provision.

Under Saugerties Village Code § 142-11, tenants who park or store vehicles on unpaved yard areas — even with a landlord's permission — may themselves be deemed responsible for a code offense, since the provision applies to occupants as well as owners. Tenants who believe a landlord is improperly restricting their use of a lawful driveway or paved surface, or who have questions about recreational vehicle storage in a rear yard, may wish to consult the Village's code enforcement office or a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York municipal ordinances. Understanding the full scope of § 142-11, including which surfaces qualify as compliant, can help tenants avoid unintended violations.
