Street Cleaning in NYC
How NYC street cleaning works for drivers who park on the street—and how to get a reminder before the sweeper comes.
Street cleaning NYC is one of the most common reasons drivers have to move a parked car. Those timed “No Parking” windows—often tied to Alternate Side Parking—exist so the city can clean (or sweep) the curb. Forget once, and you may come back to a ticket.
How NYC street cleaning schedules work
There isn’t one universal street cleaning schedule NYC that applies to every block. Instead:
- Each block (and often each side of the street) posts its own days and hours
- Rules can differ from the next street over
- Holiday suspensions for related ASP rules are announced by NYC DOT—not assumed
When people search for NYC street cleaning or street sweeping NYC, they’re usually trying to answer one practical question: “Do I need to move my car tomorrow morning?”
One avoided street cleaning ticket can easily cover a long stretch of NoTicket—especially if you park on the street every week.
Street cleaning reminders that fit real life
Phone alarms help only if you set them every time you park—and only if you remember which side of the street you’re on. A dedicated street cleaning reminder tied to your actual spot is more reliable.
NoTicket is built for that workflow: park, drop a pin, get reminded before street cleaning starts. It’s part of a broader set of NYC parking rules that street parking drivers deal with every week.
How NoTicket uses street cleaning schedules
When you save a spot, NoTicket uses NYC street sign data to determine the next relevant restriction for that location—including street cleaning / ASP windows—then notifies you ahead of time. That helps youavoid parking tickets without turning every parking session into a research project.

Street cleaning FAQ
How do I know when street cleaning is on my block?+
NYC street cleaning times are posted on the parking signs where you parked. Days and hours vary by street and side of street. NoTicket looks up those rules for your pin and sends a street cleaning reminder before the window starts.
Is street sweeping the same as street cleaning in NYC?+
Drivers usually mean the same thing: the scheduled times when you must move for the sweeper / cleaner. Official signs and DOT materials may say street cleaning; people also say street sweeping NYC.
Can NoTicket send a street cleaning reminder?+
Yes. After you save your spot, NoTicket can notify you before street cleaning starts so you have time to move.
