Building & Streets - Theresa ha assegnato questo problema a Zoning - Nick T

This will be sent to Zoning it doesn't look to be so you can remove the cones to park there. I will have Zoning Inspect the area in question.

I'd also like to know if the driveway on the left is legal. There isn't an actual curb cut—only an asphalt ramp up to the sidewalk.

Those cones are bolted to the ground. Street sweeper has been going around them for years.

What a scammer.

I believe the owner of those lots is an ex-DPW worker and gets 'special' treatment from street sweepers and other city workers in the area.

Any update?

Just witnessed street sweeper by-pass the cones. Parking Authority didn't even bat an eye at the cones.

Street Sweeper passing cones

pre-existing garages, they are legal. 5/18/17

pre-existing garages, they are legal. 5/18/17

Pre-existing to what? Cars? Parking regulations? zoning restrictions? All record keeping?

I say not legal. Scam.

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City. LEGAL PRE-EXISTING GARAGES. 5/22/17

Thank you for reporting an issue to the City of Jersey City.

OK. But what about the cones? Street sweepers always round the cones.

The garages on the left and right might be legal but the one in the center (circled in the picture) CANNOT fit a vehicle and should not be considered a garage, and therefore should not have a private driveway.

Not a garage. What a scam.

They made a renovation but want to keep the driveway. probably no permit renovation.

Originally, the space was not 'no parking', thus the cones. When they repaved, all of a sudden the no parking covered the whole stretch.

Somebody is friends with sombody.

This is ridiculous. Remove those cones!

When did they repave? Warren this is ridiculous. This should be sent to parking also. To the Director. Its obstruction of a public right of way. You cant obstruct a sidewalk, this is no different. He has no permit to do that. I never even heard of it. What record do you have that this driveway was there?

LEGAL DRIVEWAYS, THEY HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE THE ORDINANCE HAD BEEN WRITTEN UP

If it is a legal driveway, why are there cones the street that would block the entry and exit of vehicles? Reopening this issue until we all get a reasonable, non-yelled answer.

Those cones are BOLTED to the street. How is that legal.

:pop:

Zoning-Warren, First of all you work for the City and the level of professionalism being displayed here is less than stellar. There are cones (structures) bolted to a city owned Street... A VIOLATION! The driveway in question has only one driveway and the rest is an entrance to an office and sheds. Please supply us with the records that show that from the Garage to Pavonia is legal no parking due to garages. Your reply " LEGAL DRIVEWAYS, THEY HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE THE ORDINANCE HAD BEEN WRITTEN UP" is unacceptable. Times have changed Warren... get use to it! Time to send this to the Mayor.

Its not a times are changing issue as much as its someone taking advantage of friends of friends in high (or low) positions in local municipal government. SCAM

There really hasn't been a fine issued here?
Even if this IS a LEGAL DRIVEWAY, as stated above, the bolted cones are tacky at the very least, and undoubtedly against code.

Way to keep it classy, JC.
Disgusting.
Who's in charge here, anyway?

No,the person in question does not work for the city. Those driveways have been there for 30 years that I know of. I understand his dilemma because new people in the neighborhood have no respect and they just park anywhere. 90 percent of the vehicles parked in this neighborhood don't have permits to park here and should not be here. What are you doing about that?

Bolted to the ground. Yeah right!

Gia must be a friend of Cone Man.

How did they get a no parking sign? Why? Ask Traffic to explain that.

No ,Gia is not a friend of cone man. I just live in the neighborhood and there are more pressing issues than this.

That doesn't mean it should be ignored, Gia.
It's an obvious violation.

Gia, if there are more pressing issues, file new reports on them. This is not the place to discuss them. Thank you.

First time in 10 years I've seen those cones moved. Snow, rain, nor street sweepers seem able to displace them.

Someone knocked them over for a photo op.

Yea...FYI..all of you Privleged new" Neighbors " those garages have been there before most of you were born and while you were still residing in Oklahoma / Kentucky or where ever.. . Instead of @#$%... do as i do...just move them....problem solved.
PS....your Not in Kansas Anymore.....its the City toughen up big guy...

you're

driveways have been in place before 2001

And the cones?

If they bother you, just move them and park,problem solved.........

Problem is, they're bolted down.

THEY ARE NOT......

It is not the driveways that are being questioned, but the space between the driveways where the owner puts cones. There is now driveway at that spot, and it is big enough for a car to park, but this guy blocks it with cones.

THE INFORMATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR AN INSPECTION. PLEASE PROVIDE A CONTACT NUMBER SO WE CAN CONTACT YOU FOR A FOLLOW UP. UNTIL THAT TIME, THIS REQUEST IS BEING PLACED ON HOLD.

.

As a citizen, you could remove the cones. If you need to park your car you can make sure the driveways have enough space in between to come out. They can not provide a ticket where the cones are if there were signs it would be legal, cones are only for a tempory emergency situation.

Yolanda, nothing about this appears suspicious to you?

what temporary emergency have the cones been bolted down for Yolanda? and FYI: Temporary: lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent.

Temporary was something I was trying to comment ,since they are their illegal a police man could take them away or a civilian could put them on the sidewalk and park. Temporary means temporary for a short time of hours ,Yes is not permanent, this is why I am giving you some information..

Couldn't you just park somewhere else?

This is ridiculous. ....people get a life....
FAKE NEWS...BOLTED DOWN

Apparently only certain people get to complain about their trivial parking issues.

Yolanda, is it the city's official position that this is a legal parking space? Thank you in advance for the clarification.

It sounds like Yolanda answered the question.
Cones are for temporary emergencies.
Police or civilians can move the cones and legally park.
Why not take a screenshot of this thread, move the cones and park?
If you google earth the address, you will clearly see the cones from June 2015, I think we can all agree 28 months passes any "temporary emergency", lol!

I know, I just like verification. I googled it and switched to 2008 and they were there then! They didn't look so dumpy though

Yolanda clearly posted "Temporary means temporary for a short time of HOURS ,Yes is not permanent"....

Yes, thank you, I believe we read the same comment from Yolanda. Thanks. Thank you.

For the love of God, someone just toss the cones in the garbage.

We walked by the other night, there appears to be a bright brand new HUGE no parking sign painted on the street that encompasses nearly half the block now, lol!!
Who are these people?
I want to be friends with them.
The dirty cones were on the curb.

I take it your New to the area.....the Huge No Parking sign has been there BEFORE the kids park was across the street......

I take it your New to the area.....the Huge No Parking sign has been there BEFORE the kids park was across the street......

Mr. Ffletcher,
"bright brand new" came before "Huge that encompasses nearly half the block now"
Google Earth is your friend, sir.

It was not. The 'expanded' No Parking sign is only a few years old.

SEE ZONING NOTES.

Though the offending cones have been moved onto the sidewalk, "NO PARKING" is painted in large letters in the spot. Please have this removed ASAP. Cars are not parking here because of the lettering even though it is a legal spot, as they do not want to be ticketed–even wrongly–by the Parking Authority. We have all seen how the JCPA tickets legally parked cars based on bad signage, e.g., https://seeclickfix.com/issues/3538139
