West Haverstraw, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 171 § 171-5 establishes that vehicles may not be parked or stored in the front, side, or rear yard of any property in the Village of West Haverstraw unless they are on a driveway or another paved or dust-free surface designated for that purpose.

Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 171-5 of West Haverstraw's Code of Ordinances, compliant property owners generally ensure that any area used for vehicle parking or storage is a properly constructed driveway or paved, dust-free surface, and that such surfaces conform to Chapter 250 zoning and building standards. Operators typically avoid allowing tenants or occupants to park vehicles on unpaved yard areas, since the obligation extends to what the owner 'permits or allows.' Maintaining clear written guidance for tenants about approved parking locations can help demonstrate ongoing compliance with this provision.

Section 171-5 of West Haverstraw's Code of Ordinances applies to tenants and occupants directly, meaning a tenant who parks on an unpaved yard area may be found in violation regardless of a landlord's instructions. Tenants generally have an interest in confirming that their property has a compliant driveway or paved surface before parking outside, and in understanding how Chapter 250 zoning rules may affect available parking areas. Those with questions about enforcement or potential violations may wish to contact the Village of West Haverstraw's code enforcement office or consult a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
