A block in Canarsie looks more like a truck stop than a neighborhood, with dozens of commercial trucks parked for months on Avenue D from Remsen to Linden. Neighbors like Shamar Joseph say it’s become unbearable.

“Yeah, they pretty much never move,” Joseph said.

Neighbors say the trucks are more than just an inconvenience. Garbage is littering the sidewalks and streets next to where the trucks are parked, and street cleaning crews often can’t get through.

“It bothers me because there’s a lot of rodents...it’s pretty much inviting animals to come live here,” said Joseph.

The trucks belong to Allegiance Trucks. The company would not go on camera but admitted they are responsible and say they are working on a solution.

The truck leasing company has its own commercial parking lot, which doesn’t appear to be full, but that hasn’t stopped them from lining the streets with trucks. Neighbors say many of them haven’t moved in over six months.

City records show more than 100 complaints were made to 311 in the area over the past year for illegal parking, including some from a neighbor who wished to remain anonymous.

“It’s horrible. It’s bringing the neighborhood down, and nobody’s doing anything about it. They’re still charging taxes, and nothing is being done about this,” Joseph said.

The Department of Sanitation said it can only tow cars without plates and visible damage. In this neighborhood, DSNY says body shops often remove disposal tags, making it harder to legally remove trucks. DSNY said it has reached out to the NYPD for help. News 12 reached out to the NYPD too and is waiting to hear back.

Councilman Chris Banks said the NYPD has issued nine summonses since he started looking into the issue last month.

“The fact that there’s still parking here, and that it’s not allowing sanitation crews to clean the streets, is a problem,” Banks said. “We’ve been making calls to the proper city agencies, and hopefully this can get the trucks moved.”

DSNY said it has already teamed up twice this year with the NYPD in this neighborhood, towing 30 cars and issuing nearly 50 summonses.

Residents say they will continue to push for action until the trucks are finally removed.
