TO ALL TENENTS,
PLEASE READ THE LETTER BELOW AS IT CONTAINS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE NEW TOWING / BOOTING PROGRAM WHICH WILL TAKE EFFECT ON 5/1/2023.
April 19, 2023
RE: Towing and Booting of vehicles to begin 5/1/23
Dear Tenants:
The BHA has entered into a contract with Bobby’s Towing and Recovery LLC for parking lot enforcement at both Forrestal Heights and Hamilton Fish Plaza.
Any vehicle parked in violation of the attached Parking Policy is subject to towing or booting. The fee to release the vehicle is $125.00 and must be paid directly to Bobby’s Towing and Recovery LLC.
Please see the attached Parking Policy. We strongly recommend that you read it and call the office if you have any questions. Once a vehicle is towed or booted it becomes a matter between the vehicle owner and the towing company. The BHA does not and will not have any role in the transaction for the release of the vehicle.
Please be sure to inform your family members and all of your guests of the parking rules. Not knowing the rules will not be considered an excuse. Breaking a rule to run into your apartment for 5 minutes will not be considered an excuse. There are no excuses.
Again, the BHA cannot and will not have any part in getting a vehicle released from the towing company if it was towed or booted for being in violation of the attached parking policy. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Sincerely,
Roland Traudt
Executive Director
STARTING MONDAY MAY 1ST, 2023
Parking Policy Enforcement
Any vehicle found in violation of any of the parking rules and regulations listed below will be subject to towing and/or booting.
Any harassment or threatening of Beacon Housing Authority personnel or tow operators by residents, household members or guests, will result in lease violation and/or eviction.
Management assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to any vehicle parked in the allotted spaces.
Once a vehicle has been towed or booted, it becomes a matter between the owner and the towing company. The Beacon Housing Authority or its Executive Director does not have any role in the transaction for the release of the vehicle.
PARKING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Parking in the Beacon Housing Authority Parking Lots is designated for BHA tenants and staff.
The Reserved Parking spots are exclusive and limited. They are issued to individuals with “special circumstances” as a reasonable accommodation.
Parking Permits
Parking permits are required to park on Beacon Housing Authority property. To be eligible for a parking permit, the following shall apply:
- The vehicle must have a current registration in a household member’s name, and the registration must be displayed in the proper place in the window.
2. The vehicle must be insured and in the tenant’s name with a BHA address.
3. There must be a valid license plate attached to the vehicle and a current inspection sticker.
4. A Parking Permit Request Form must be completed, signed, and submitted to the office for
approval.
Additional parking permits will be considered only if there is another valid household member who meets all of the above provisions.
Parking permit stickers must be displayed at all times in the lower left hand corner of the back windshield (picture attached). If the permit is not there (even if you have one issued to you) the vehicle is subject to towing and booting.
Special parking permits and guest parking permits (hang tags) must be displayed at all times while on property by being hung from the rear view mirror. If the permit is not there (even if you have one issued to you) the vehicle is subject to towing and booting.
Parking permits are color coded and have assigned lot numbers.
Parking Lots
Color coded parking permits are valid for the following lots:
Parking Lot Parking Permit Color
Forrestal Heights High Rise Lot 1 or Lot 2 Yellow
Forrestal Heights Apt. #61 – L106 Lot 3 Blue
Forrestal Heights Apt. # 3 – 60 Lot 4 or Lot 5 Red
Hamilton Fish Plaza Purple
Visitor Parking
The Visitor Parking spots are to be used by guests and Home Health Aides/Nurses of BHA residents. The visitor parking spots at Forrestal Heights Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 and at Hamilton Fish Plaza have a maximum limit of 4 hours parking.
Guests remaining longer than 4 hours at Forrestal Heights must be issued a guest parking permit from the housing authority office and park in assigned lot.
There is no long term parking available at Hamilton Fish Plaza.
Parking Rules
You must obey all fire, handicapped, reserved and other posted parking regulations.
You must park in your assigned lot ONLY.
Only vehicles with handicapped stickers legally issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles or Police Department may legally park in spaces designated for that purpose.
No one should park in a “No Parking” area.
No vehicles are permitted on any curb, island, sidewalk or grass area.
No vehicle should block access to any garbage dumpster.
Repairs, greasing or similar work on automobiles is prohibited on BHA property. A car placed on jacks for repairs could cost the life of a curious child. Any car jacked up vehicle will be towed away at the owner’s expense.
No vehicle (or anything with a motor) may be driven on any curb, island, sidewalk or grass area. Exception will be granted to medically necessary personal mobility equipment.
WE REPEAT!
Any vehicle found in violation of any of the parking rules and regulations will be subject to towing and/or booting.
NO EXCUSES NO EXCEPTIONS
