Big SUV parked in no standing zone, to close to hydrant. The permit in the window did not match the lic.plate on the SUV. This spot is a favorite spot for NYPD to park and see the movies at the place around the corner. Once again there where open legal spots to park on the block, but hey they would get a ticket,right? Also, what is with the overly tinted windows that seem very popular with the NYPD officers that break the rules?

The owner of this vehicle has been parking around the sixth precinct for more than a year without a front license plate and very darkly tinted windows (both NY violations.) I have sent three letters to the captain of the precinct with no action taken. It is currently parked on the east side of Hudson street between Charles and Perry at metered parking. Who is this guy that he can operate his vehicle without a license plate for more than a year without any consequence?????
Can not make out the permit number because the window is tinted very dark.

All I have is that the car is usually parked on a fire hydrant. The address that is always park at is on Dewey and Quincy about 50-75 feet from 2829 Dewey Ave. I know that this permit is fake, is definetely a photo copy, It folds the fake permit, so you dont get to see the other nypd logo. the sealed that nypd puts is usually on the right side the one the is clear, and then the other part is just a shield with the NYPD logo.

Continued blatant placard parking abuse in a NO STANDING ANYTIME zone despite a formal request to the commander of the 19th precinct to cease and desist the illegal activity by community board 8M.

These islands are part of the parks department Greenstreets program and this bit of greenery for the community totally being totally disrespected by NYPD employees for their own convenience. Thus rather than a park we have a dog feces/refuse lot surrounded by illegally parked placarded cars.
http://nycgovparks.org/sub_your_park/trees_greenstreets/greenstreets.html

This blatant police parking abuse sets the stage for a cesspool of parking abuse on this street. Why not after all the police are doing it, why not me.

This the meters are full of all day parkers most with bogus placards, a few 19th precinct placards and the so-called truck loading and unloading zone devoid of trucks loading and unloading but full of scofflaws.

Amazingly the community board 8 people misplaced a resolution to change the signage on North side of the street from Trucks loading to normal street parking which would have taken effect about at this time. To this date the cb refuses official comment. A formal complaint has been filed with the borough president's office yesterday.

still can't park correctly, or legally

Continued illegal placard parking in a NO STANDING ANYTIME zone. This despite a letter from community board 8 to the 19th precinct dated May, 28, 2009 which reads as follows.

Dear Inspector Murtagh,
Community Board 8M has recently received a number of complaints from the public about vehicles displaying "NYPD-19" Precinct placards parking illegally at two small center islands located at either end of 66th street between Second and Third Avenues.
As you know, these islands are signed "No Standing Anytime" and it is illegal for any vehicles to park at curbs with this signage, even with a city issued placard.
We would appreciate if you would remind your officers of this fact.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Parked at the above location.
Harbor Cop.
No water in sight except for rain.
Parked in No Parking Zone AND in the crosswalk.

No Ticket on car. Go fightin' 9th!

Car is at a meter, unpaid, at 34 Avenue A, East Village. Funny because the unmarked towers and truck show up to tow him and he and all his buddies run out to show juice. They don't tow!!!
Unpaid tickets and illegally displayed placard and DRUNK. They let him walk.

illegal, and plate numbers don't event match placard

Placard parking is not permitted in NO STANDING ANYTIME zones. This blatant abuse has been going on for years and was reported to the local City Council Member Garodnick, the local Community Board #8, the local Precinct Commander of the 19th and to the Commander of Manhattan North as well as Margaret Forgione of the DOT.

The community board resolved weeks ago to write to the NYPD yet the situation remains. Both the commander of Manhattan North and the 19th are aware of the issue and are defiant in their uncivil behavior.

That large truck bore an FDNY placard and had out of state plates.

If you look closely, you can see the Honda from the 72nd precinct (with child seat installed) in front of the 4Runner.

This is the 4th time I have observed this vehicle parked here. Parking enforcement drove right past it and another Fed Law Enforcement placarded (# 43900) vehicle to ticket someone down the block last night.
Earlier documented violation:
http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/7691

This Toyota Camry was parked on a Saturday during the time period restricted for commerical trucks. It had an expired NYPD parking permit with licence number partially covered by a NYPD PBA card, and the number did not match the license plate. I asked a traffic agent who skipped right through it why he did not ticket this car. He said in his own words "I have instruction" and that "the guy might be too busy to get the updated one." So now you know not to bother reporting to the city if you ever seen a car with the expired permit. Traffic agent does not care anyway and we as taxpayers will just have to pick up the tabs.

This is his regular parking spot, obviously. 70th Precinct placard.

The Honda was still there this morning, and sure enough - it sports a NYPD 72nd Precinct placard.

I missed the permit number on this 4Runner's 70th Precinct placard because it was almost entirely concealed by the registration and inspection stickers. However the licence plate on the vehicle matched the placard. The Honda in front of it was also illegally parked, but I was about to miss my bus so I didn't check it out. If it's still there tonight I'll update if it was NYPD too.

UPDATE - Yup! The Honda is NYPD too!

2nd UPDATE. The 4Runner was back (and unsurprisingly parked illegally again) so I've added the permit #.

The said vehicle in the pictures regularly, on a daily basis, can be found illegally parked in the "NO STANDING ANYTIME" zone on Odell Street Circle adjacent to 1565/1575 Odell Street Parkchester units. This vehicle also blatantly blocks the sole fire hydrant at the end of the block directly across of 1565 Odell Street, for which it is in this picture, plus fouling the "NO STANDING ANYTIME" zone. There is also a "NO PARKING ANYTIME" zone on the south side of St. Raymond Avenue right at the intersection of Odell Street and St. Raymond Avenue where this vehicle can often also be found illegally parked. This vehicle is one of several who use the Odell Street circle as their own personal parking location. I have a disabled daughter who requires a wheelchair and get a wheelchair-lift school bus to pick her up for school, and on a number of occasions, we had to switch buses because the drivers of the buses refused to come down Odell Street because of all the illegal parking, and complaints to the NYPD and the 43rd Precinct seem to have fallen on deaf ears.

A long line of vehicles regularly park in the Park Ave. bike lane all along it's length through the Bronx. This is a representative example. Most of the cars display a variety of NYPD related permits- some expired, some simply display traffic vests placed on the dashboard etc. There is only space here for one so I posted the one with the EXPIRED permit. Some just have NYPD decals, some have other unofficial indicators of NYPD status conspicuously placed on the dash or in the window. This particular string of vehicles is parked along Park Ave. (note MTA North Tracks parallel) near the intersection of Park Ave. & E. 188th Street. This particular set of images was taken on Monday March 23 11:15 a.m.

It's getting tough out there for abuser of parking placards! Now off-duty NYPD have to compete with other city agencies to find a nice convenient hydrant.

This car and the Prius in the next violation were parked together at the hydrant. Both had placards, of course... You can imagine my surprise.

Not sure if I got the placard number right (my photo turned out to be a bit blurry) but the license plate is correct and matches the placard.

This minivan with a 34th Precinct (179th St and north) permit is parked right in front of a hydrant on 50th St, a good 129 blocks away from the 34th Precinct.

Police parked on the sidewalk at the 30th Precinct in Manhattan. Crudely typed permit. The parked vehicles occupy the entire north sidewalk forcing people to walk in the middle of the street.

The 30th Precinct has taken over the entire north sidewalk on 151st St., between Amsterdam Ave and Convent Ave.

Who knew there were so many precincts in one neighborhood?

Another fine, upstanding NYPD employee breaking the law.

Macy's is having a sale so this driver can't resist. Parks in No Standing Anytime zone adjacent to school, 2 malls and midst merging traffic - to self indulge a shopping addiction. Public safety is thrown out the window along with NYPD's integrity.

What me worry? this driver asks - I am a cop after all.

3 young lives were lost in this neighborhood in the past 2 years due to traffic related - line of sight and undeterred speeding:
Carolina Hernandez, 13, Killed when driver didn't see her or her bike 8/16/07
Asif Rahman, 22, Killed when truck hit him as he navigated around an illegally parked car 2/28/08
Jasmine Paragas, 14, Killed by bus that was speeding to make a light
Likely the 311 complaint will be closed by false statement as the majority of past complaints have been.
Folks who lie about illegal parking will likely lie about anything.

This joker decided to park in front of a hydrant. S/he also has somebody else's permit. Looks like they need some training themselves!

expired permit for NYPD: Housing Borough Manhattan-IRT blocking a crosswalk

Parks in No Standing Zone, creates line of sight hazard between 2 merging streets, next to school, 2 malls and at location where an auto has struck pedestrians in a neighborhood where 3 kids have lost their lives in last 2 years due to traffic related collisions and neighborhood where 110th precinct rarely enforces any traffic law.

Once again the cops that stopped to ticket see the permit on the dash (half covered with a stuffed monkey toy, to hide the permit prec.#) and no ticket. Though the car behind it was also parked to close,

13th precinct doing it again

No courtesy. Disrespect. Totally unprofessional.

Dangerous and illegal.

Oh, and lame.

This guy parks here all the time.

... and we all suffer the consequences.

This supposed 19th precinct employee is using his/her expired restricted placard to park illegally. Nice trick covering the placard with their SBA card.

Yet again - overnight parking at Fire Hydrant by 114th. This is a location frequently passed by both 110th cruisers and NYPD parking patrols.

Obviously NYPD is approving of parking at fire hydrants next to shopping malls and residential high rises by their lack of action.

Way to go NYPD!
