You cannot block somebody’s private property’s driveway access. It’s the law. Why don’t you educate yourself and instead of being passive aggressive and come on here typing essays arguing. It is standard in this country to tow anybody who block access to your driveway. You can tow at owner’s expense. “But but but”. Do something or quit crying.

You cannot call a private towing company to tow someone blocking your driveway unless their vehicle is physically on your (private) property. If they're in the street, the towing company has to be engaged by PA. Source: me, I've tried calling a tow company direct because parking authority sucks.

Really? In NYC the procedure is to first have the police come and ticket the driver for blocking a driveway (which is state law). After there is a ticket on the vehicle, you can then call a tow truck to take it away and they are happy to make $$$$ and do so.

Once they've ticketed, I think you can then call a private towing company, but at that point parking authority can also call a towing company. After the two hours it takes for them to show up and ticket, the rest of the time is somewhat of a wash. I'm not bitter....
