A stretch of Bay Parkway in Brooklyn went from an overnight truck stop back to an average residential street.

"I think the immediate results were fantastic," says local Benjamin Lapidus.

The residents who complained to NY1 For You about tractor trailers parked overnight right outside their houses.

"In a residential area to have tractor trailers lined up in front of your house, it's just not a pleasant experience," says local Patty Alford.

"They have refrigeration units that run continuously on cycles that are timed," says Lapidus.

Commercial vehicles are prohibited from parking on residential streets between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m.

Homeowners called NY1 For You and the station contacted the Department of Environmental Protection.

After NY1's first story aired in December, a DEP spokesman told the station there was an inspection of the site and idling violations were issued. Also, the DEP and the Department of Transportation agreed to install "No Idling" signs on the street.

NY1 then contacted the NYPD, and police said they were aware of the situation and planning an initiative. The next day, 21 summonses were issued and 17 commercial trucks were towed from the location.

Police tell NY1 there have now been a total of 128 summonses issued to vehicles violating the parking regulations in that area. They say conditions are being monitored and there will be continued enforcement.

It is temporary relief to the residents, who hope law enforcement sends a message to the truck drivers that their streets are not a truck stop.

NY1 will continue to follow this story.
