From the Times Ledger:Bayside residents and elected officials said they were upset that a car dealership on Northern Boulevard has long been using a residential street behind the business as well as the sidewalk adjacent to its property to park vehicles.
State Assemblywoman Ann-Margaret Carrozza (D-Bayside) and state Sen. Frank Padavan (R-Bellerose) have both contacted the city Department of Buildings and the 111th Precinct to complain that Star Nissan, at 206-02 Northern Blvd. in Bayside, has been parking vehicles on 45th Road and along the sidewalk on 206th Street, which is also the Clearview Expressway’s service road, for a long time.
In a letter to the DOB, Padavan said the dealership’s certificate of occupancy allows the business to park 30 cars on its lot. But in a separate letter to the 111th Precinct, he said the dealership often parks unlicensed vehicles with no plates on the streets near the business.
Community activist Mandingo Tshaka, who has registered complaints about the dealership with Carrozza, Padavan, Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s office and the DOB, said he consistently notices vehicles without plates parked along 45th Road between Oceania Street and 206th Street.
“That business is making millions of dollars, but it’s not contributing anything to Bayside,” he said. “It’s disrespectful to the community and denying residents on 45th Road the right to park there.”
Residents on that street said they often have to park several blocks away.

Cars parked on a public street witout licnse plates for more than 6 hours are considered abandoned,tow them!
Didn't they do this on 11th avenue in Manhattan. Some lady called help me howard or one of those news activists. Its funny that it was also a nissan dealership that were parking their cars on city streets.
they should just level northern blvd between 39th place and flushing.
On the one hand, car dealerships are evil, but on the other hand, space is limited in the city, and if they can get away with using the street parking, they will.
Did anyone speak directly with the dealership first to try and rectify the issue? If so what was the response?
all those cars should be ticketed
"Residents on that street said they often have to park several blocks away." but please dont give me that sob story drvie by star nissa and tell me u cand find parking
This has been going on for years. If you walk or drive by the dealership you see tons of cars along the street with no plates. The 111th ignores everything.
I'm many months late, but I'm a neighbor on 45th drive and 206th street (two blocks behind the dealership). There's never any parking because they illegally park their cars on our block too, and their employees also park illegally on our block.
"Did anyone speak directly with the dealership first to try and rectify the issue? If so what was the response?"
Yes. They are complete assholes.
