Is private property towing legal in New York City?
Yes, when it's done right, and the city is specific about what right means. A private-property tow can only be done by a company holding a DCWP towing license, and the lot has to be posted. Under the Administrative Code (section 19-169.1) and DCWP Rule 6 section 2-377, a conspicuous sign has to sit at each entrance and along the perimeter no more than 250 feet apart, its top 6 to 8 feet above the ground, luminescent so it's visible around the clock, at least 12 inches by 18 inches, and it has to state the towing company's name, address and phone, the redemption hours, the fees, and the hours towing is allowed. There's also a hookup rule: if the owner comes back before the vehicle is removed and it's already connected to the truck, it has to be disconnected. The licensed tower, not this matcher, is the one who has to follow the rest of that law.
Do you work with HOAs?
Yes. HOAs are a frequent private-property client type. A licensed tower audits the existing signage, updates the parking rules with the board, and sets a patrol schedule that fits the community. Board members don't make the tow call; the tower does, per the agreed rules.
