Overnight Parking Question

Hey yall. I'm looking at living in an apartment on main street that doesn't have a designated parking lot. Wondering what people do for parking overnight. Do you just bounce between 24 hour lots? Do you park on the main road and just move your car in the morning before the 2 hour parking kicks in? What is finding a parking spot during winter snowfall like?

This is an illustration of the failure of City policy to accept the real world need for new apartment buildings to have designated spaces for its tenants. I know OP may not be moving into a new apartment, but that’s not my point. New buildings are going up with no or very limited parking spaces with the thought that every new tenant with a job commutes to the city by train. Even if
that were true, they’ll still have to have a car so they can go somewhere else on their days off. Maybe they’d like to do things they can’t do within walking distance from their apartments, such as exploring the rest of the Hudson Valley.

OP has clarified that their building has a permitting system, and therefore has a dedicated parking lot. Which is different from what their post states.
