Stop funding City Hall $65 at a time.
Street cleaning was supposed to be about clean streets. It became a ticket machine that treats parked New Yorkers like a revenue line. So we built the thing the city never would: a free app that knows your block’s exact schedule and warns you before the sweeper — and the ticket — arrive.
Free download. One dodged ticket is $65 that stays in your pocket.

The racket
A $65 tax on forgetting.
Nobody’s against clean streets. We’re against a system where the penalty stopped being a deterrent and became a dependency — where the city does better when you do worse.
$65, every single time
One alternate-side ticket costs $65 in all five boroughs. Miss the sweeper twice a month and the city quietly takes four figures out of your year.
Signs built to confuse
Three signs on one pole, arrows pointing both ways, rules that flip block by block. When the rules are this hard to read, the mistakes aren't an accident — they're the product.
Budgeted like a business
Parking fines are counted on as city revenue before the year even starts. Your worst morning is someone's line item. We think that's backwards.
The way out
Move once. Never pay.
Park & drop a pin
Tap “Park Here” when you leave the car. The app remembers exactly where it is and which block's rules apply to it.
Know your block's real schedule
Every block in the five boroughs has its own posted days and window. The app reads the official schedule for your exact block, straight from NYC Open Data.
Get warned before the window
Green, yellow, red. A push notification lands before cleaning starts on your block, so you move the car before the agent writes the ticket.
Skip the fake move days
Alternate side is suspended on dozens of holidays and sometimes for weather. The app tracks suspensions live, so you never move the car for nothing.
Works in the dead zones
Cached schedules keep working offline — in the parking garage, in the subway, wherever the signal dies.
Why we built it
The city should work for you. Not bill you.
A street gets no cleaner by ticketing a nurse who worked a double and missed the sweeper by four minutes. A government that profits from its own residents’ confusion has stopped serving them. We weren’t interested in waiting for City Hall to fix that — so we took it into our own hands and shipped the fix ourselves, free, for every borough.
New Yorkers are not the city’s ATM. If you’ve ever fed a week of groceries to a ticket, post it, tag it, and send someone the app. Every download is $65 the machine doesn’t get.

Straight answers.
$65, in all five boroughs. Alternate side parking violations carry the same fine citywide, so missing the sweeper twice a month quietly costs over $1,500 a year. The app exists so you never pay it.
It varies block by block — that's the trap. Every block has its own posted days and time window. NYC Street Cleaning + ASP reads the official schedule for your exact block from NYC Open Data and sends a push alert before your window starts.
The app tracks suspensions live. New York suspends alternate side parking on dozens of legal and religious holidays, and occasionally for weather or emergencies. Open the app and the day's status is the first thing you see — green, yellow, or red.
Yes — while your block's posted window is in effect, staying parked there means a ticket, and enforcement commonly works right alongside the sweeper. The app warns you before the window opens so one move is all it takes.
Yes. Free download, all five boroughs, offline mode included. One dodged ticket saves you $65; the app costs nothing.
Your next ticket costs $65. The fix costs nothing.
Free, all five boroughs, powered by NYC Open Data. Save your block tonight and let the phone do the remembering.
NYC Street Cleaning + ASP is an independent app built on NYC Open Data and Department of Transportation schedules. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of New York. Schedules and suspensions can change; the posted signs on your block are always the final word.
