If you need a private parking space...come to 262nd Street and 79th Avenue in Floral Park. We have one reserved just for you.....directly in front of a fire hydrant. Not many people park there because those silly people obey the law---leaving plenty of free one-hour parking for the various landscaping companies who park in front of the fire hydrant--blocking access for a half hour to one hour at least four or five times per week.
No worries about the law! They have been blocking the hydrants for years--without penalty! Just be sure that you are not an ordinary citizen...because there are laws!

In spite of multiple complaints, and in spite of the fact that, only a week ago, two short blocks down from this hydrant, there was a huge 2-alarm fire that drew 100 firefighters
to put out a fire that began in a hoarder's illegal basement apartment--NOTHING IS BEING DONE to stop the landscapers from parking in front of the fire hydrant.
