Wife parked by an illegal driveway on 36th st.  Guy smashed her mirror and when she came back is like never park her again. What to do?
Call the cops and 311 if the sidewalk is curved in front of the driveway, they'll make him redo the sidewalk.

How do you know it's illegal?

By calling cops he may need to pay for the mirror

I'm back with my driveway issues...

I didn't plow my driveway from the snow, I just plowed the front of it and I park blocking my own driveway. Can I have a teina if someone is blocking my driveway (claiming the outside isn't mine and I'm anyway not using the driveway)?

I think in NYC you only aren't allowed to block a driveway if it is an active driveway, but if there are obstructions that make the driveway unusable then you're allowed to.  Not sure if it has to be a permanent obstruction, or a building or what.

Agree.

Also, the guy is an idiot.  You know where he lives, so you can come back and break all his mirrors and windows and he'll have no way to get back at you.

That's one option.

Another option is probably extortion, which is to threaten to break their windows repeatedly unless they pay you now.

Needs to be unless they pay you right now, because otherwise when you come back after a few breakings to demand payment, they might have the cops waiting to put you in jail.

I've always assumed I would use this option whenever I've parked in front of an illegal driveway (like the one that had the tree in the middle)

Who do they think they are. Forget about laws - why should he have the spot more then me. either i have it or he does. Its not like im blocking a lot with 30 spots. Why does anyone have the right? and when i say right i mean just as good human. If you take away the curb then the st is loosing a spot so you can have one.
