Parking in front of public schools when school is not in session?

Question

I live in an area in NYC where street parking is hard to find. I sometimes find spots in front of a public school near my house, where there's no parking from 8am - 5pm on school days. I'm wondering if I could park there, given that it's summer and schools aren't in session. But then again, I don't know if summer school plays a factor?

Answer 1

to be safe, just follow the 8am-5pm rule. You don't want to be ticketed. If parking is really hard, try commuting.
