Problem
NYC drivers frequently miss alternate-side parking regulations, leading to parking tickets, towing, and wasted time circling for new spots. Official schedules are complex, subject to holiday and weather suspensions, and hard to check quickly, leaving drivers uncertain about when they must move their vehicles.
Solution
streetcleaning.app provides a free, clutter-free tool that delivers real-time street cleaning status for any address in all five boroughs. The service calculates exactly when a block is being cleaned, displaying clear statuses such as "You're safe," "Move soon," or "Move now," so drivers avoid fines without needing to decode complex regulations. Users can save their block and receive push notifications the night before and morning of cleaning, while the platform automatically updates for holiday and weather-related suspensions. An offline mode caches schedules locally, ensuring the service works even without a cellular signal.
