Mechanical sweepers are used to clean city streets between April 1 and November 30. There are several reasons that may explain why a mechanical sweeper does not pass on your street. These may include a mechanical failure, torrential rain, or excess gravel or water accumulation, which can damage the equipment. 

Even if the mechanical sweeper does not pass, you are required to comply with parking restrictions at all times, as other types of maintenance may be scheduled in that location.

• See parking restrictions per borough

If you notice a situation that requires immediate action by our crews, please call us as soon as possible.
