Though the Carroll Gardens community, with the help of our elected officials and the City Council, have established once and for all that parking is NOT allowed on the neighborhood's signature, city-owned, front courtyards, some residents and businesses obviously still think that the rules do not apply to them and to their cars.
See the photos above of the latest example on 4th Place. Though there have been driveways in front of the 1960's two-story houses to the right for many years, someone has recently decided to turn the grass covered courtyard of #117 4th Place into a parking spot as well.
They were sent to me by a reader, who wrote:
It seems that the illegal use of the court yards for parking is spreading. Here’s some recent pics of 117 4th Place. This property doesn’t have a fence, is often garbage strewn and now has vehicles parking on it. There is no curb cut and these pics show two different cars.
I agree with the reader. We all are frustrated by the lack of parking spots in the neighborhood, but it takes an enormous amount of guts to just drive onto the curb and into the courtyard.
